Replying to a comment on:

Mandrakes (Free verse) by Caducus

Mandrakes flower on the surface. Concealing a poisonous root. All body shaped and soiled It induces feelings of love Which if tasted too much of Will make you sleep forever. I had a lover like this She left herself So I left her snapped Poisoning the insects Who licked her bitter sap Boasting about their kill As I buried the remnants Of her self respect In an unmarked grave in neon land.
