Poems by Rose

The Rose

 

The delicate petal
Leaks with lust,
Dripping with drops
Of blood
Drawn from men
Who dared to become,
Who dared to harm
The thorned Rose.

Hold her gently
And caress with care,
The wild rose will reveal
Her golden nectar
As she spreads her Self:
Intoxicating scent you taste
Invites you in
To pluck her
For yours to keep.​
