Tulip

your teeth flashed

as white as a tulip,

your lips are as soft as the petal,

always left unflawed

and it curved like its petal,

never cracking an edge

and your pollens are kept

inside your mouth,

waiting for me,

the bee,

to be fed.

although,

your teeth are as sharp

and

as smooth as the end of a tulip.

you seem to bite,

but if you'd ever do,

i'd only want to return the love bites too.

-n.d.
