passion's blood flows in veins
leafy layers of crimson residue
strangles only a virgin's love
seduces a flower so pure to touch
shameful glances cast knowing dolor
hidden secrets can't remain
agony and purity crawl alone
give nothing more to the lowly beast

"seduces a flower so pure to touch"
I love the feelings in this, the contrasts between purity and virginity to shame and hidden secrets. Wonderfully conveyed with strong words.
Well penned,

OOh Like this. Reminds me of when I was much younger and having an affair. Those feeling were all over the place. I call poetry good when it is real to me personally and this sure is. Excellent .
