Violets and Roses

Her arms were twined with violets and roses

sewn into patterns of silk and velvet

white fabric billowed down to her calves like a waterfall

She looked over her right shoulder

fiery red hair flaring from her scalp

Green eyes blended with the wildflowers

until she couldn't see the difference between the two

Where the fire ended and the ivy began

draping her with lavender and sliver and scarlett

blossoming in the woods
