Hidden folds of Velvet Sheets
Delicate were secrets lie hidden
varieties unmask, large and small.
Definitely misunderstood,
sometimes mistreated.

Fragile, then pretty
often falls apart
Outer parts lie venerable
inner parts, where treasures lay.

A Place where love found me
sometimes reciprocated
sometimes you were not even there.
A touch, unknown
familiar eruptions take over me
Thirst, becomes my friend
take over my petals
A Stigma Eruption,
Behold!
