Dangerously Dainty Darlings

Dainty little flowers bloomed along the path 

Dazzling me with their coy smiles

Darker than blood, the tangled weeds crept all over

Demanding me to snatch a bloom to save my soul

Dazzling me with their coy smiles

Dreams of a land far away beckoned to me 

Demanding me to snatch a bloom to save my soul

Delusions of a happy ever after enveloped me

Dreams of a land far away beckoned to me 

Desperate to grab the bounty of love with both hands 

Delusions of a happy ever after enveloped me
Destroying the bitter truth with the taste of poppies

Desperate to grab the bounty of love with both hands
Darker than blood, the tangled weeds crept all over
Destroying the bitter truth with the taste of poppies
Dainty little flowers bloomed along the path

Note:

• Day 4 with D. 
• The style is called Pantoum in which 8 lines are repeated to form a 16 lines poem. 
• So that's 4*2 words with D, for 4*4 lines of 4 stanzas for day 4. :)
