Flower petals

Pink and white

Translucent in the sun light

My flower petals

Swaying in the breeze

That spring breeze

That brings the bees

Out of hibernation

In search of

Sweet nectar

Pollen

Colorful flower petals

Shy young flower

I gaze in amazement

But close my petals

As you fly by

Curious

Interested

Amazed

I peek at you

From behind my

Delicate flower petals

You hum and buzz you

Tantalizing song

Opening my petals

Bringing me out to

Dance with you

You twirl and spin

In the air above me

Showing off your

Yellow and black

You spread your wings

And hypnotize me

Never showing that it

Was just an act

Sharp pain intruded

I am awestruck

My innocence is

Lost

You grin at me

And caress my

Petals

Removing the stringer

You pierced me

With

I never knew you were

A wasp

Falling to the ground

I look up at the sky

Almost too painfully

Blue

I shed my tears

And struggle to

Bring my petals

Closer

Out of fear you would

Return anew

As night falls on

My petals

I look to the stars

And beg for their help

Show me the way

Of keeping me safe

From those who

Would taint me

The heavens answered

‘We love you our child

With your petals of

Pink and white

We saw what happened

And wept for you

We will cover you

With the night’

My petals spread

And my colors changed

From white to

Black and blue

With red in

The middle

As morning shone

At early dawn

I waited just a little

For the buzz of

Honeybees

To pass by my side

I spread my petals

And show the red

Out and open wide

Someone comes

He’s black and yellow

Buzzing

Gently along

I show him my

Petals

And he smells the pollen

My sweet and deadly song

He comes in close

Intrigued by me

Fascinated by my colors

He strokes a petal

And

Snap

I shut them closed

The red is gone

The blue is gone

All that is left is black

The gentle innocent

Flower I was

Is now a

Venus Wasp trap
