Nepenthes Sanguinea

And there I am caught,
Caught in your snare,
The small green flying insect
Drowning in the pitcher of a flesh eating plant.
It was so beautiful
I had to investigate,
To to discover myself in the reflection of that beautiful cup
Dripping from your jade leaves.
I was beautiful and for a moment fell in love.
Fell, falling, I have fallen into your trap and here I drown.
Looking up at your beauty and trying to remember my own
As the sunlight pours in through the toxic water that is my demise.

Ooh, sis appreciates the depth and translucency of this one. It will leave the unenlightened wondering for a LONG time.

Little buggies
trapped in the liquid
slowly decomposed
nutrients internally sapped
"Yum, yum."
