I found this in my email. I wrote it 4 years ago and honestly, reading it again today made me wonder if I was high on something cheap.
LOL
I hope you like it.
A beauty so rare so true
One that reaches and touches the soul
Its fragrance so subtle, so captivating
Its prickly pain yet ever so sharp
I hold on to its stem,
Seeking something more
How much longer am I supposed to sacrifice
One after the other
The petals keep dropping,
Companionship
Selflessness
Security
Warmth
Love
I do not want to watch
I struggle for a firmer grip
wondering if im doing right
This beautiful flower of mine,
nourished and cherished.
I cling yet i bleed
My caramel skin
glistens in the moonlight
The tears i shed
Nurture it with me, my love
tend this rare thing we share
I do not want to watch it die
but it seems I alone can not make it live
My 5-petalled Rose
