The rose garden is my sanctuary
protection from my cruel world
outside of these boxwood hedges
my cocoon becomes unfurled
Their fragrance creates happiness
like love in the early Spring
the colours sound like a symphony
swaying back and forth on a swing
Protected by her prickly thorns
all her secrets become entwined
beauty can sometimes deceive you
when held tightly or too confined
The softness of the rose petals
bring desire for your gentle touch
for a moment I let my guard down
my heart begins missing you so much
As my mind comes back to reality
the thorn pricks open my skin
I remain in my rose garden sanctuary
though tempted I did not give in
