A Bloom in the Desert

Her body is a desert.

To quench your thirst,

you must dig deep,

battle with scorpions,

search for that flower

that is rooted far below...

and when you find it,

you must dig into your own well,

for it is from your spring

that her desert will finally bloom.

Fine. But could not find the scorpions. Must be lurking somewhere. Have to be careful next time. Anyway, wonderful Cheryl.
