Narcissus

The image is taken from Pixabay. 

Yellow and white, she bloomed

Tender as a newborn's touch

Glittering in the dew on a spring morning 

She sat on the throne of grass.

Glancing at me walking by, she winked

Luring me to step closer and admire 

The curves she flaunted, twirling in the breeze

With a grin on her lovely face. 

Enticed, I gently plucked her 

Tracing my fingers over the fragile petals 

When she dropped to the ground 

My hands turning red after a kiss from her.

Seeping into my blood, the toxins spread

Making me numb from within 

Bringing forth a bitter truth I failed to perceive 

The daffodil was lovingly called a Narcissus.
