Lovebird

Your brilliant hummingbird wings
Whispered their breath on my petals,
Before you dipped your proboscis
Into the sweet nectar of survival.
My corolla quivered at their fluttering vibration,
Blushing a deeper red at the orange and green salute.
The mystery of give and take was revealed to me in stages
As you hovered, then retreated.
Each time your forked tongue
Greedily took in more nectar.
My scent, my color attracted you,
And you drank until my sweetness was gone.
I heard your whispery retreat.

Now I am left with quivering petals
And a deep red blush, straining
To hear the humming again.
