Blossom of your lies
a scent I could not resist
into your petals
letting myself tumble,
your pollen poisoned me.

Very nice tanka poem.

Very clever write here...'Blossom', 'scent', 'petals', and 'pollen' allude to the flower (the snapdragon) nicely.
My favorite lines:
"letting myself tumble,
your pollen poisoned me."
Vulnerable but self-aware is the vibe I'm getting.
Kudos. =]
