The truth beneath the Rose


 

 

What is the fearless courage of a poet,

but a tender rose;

reaching and climbing higher,

upon the vines of structure.

A strong twine laced together,

by the crevices of a hungered soul.

 

A bloom,

whose aroma draws you near,

amidst the jagged atmosphere.

One can only wonder, 

do thorns bleed intention or protect us sharply,

from the truth,

beneath the rose,

 

hidden in our souls.

    Fantastically put analogy, never would have thought of that! It expresses so well a heart of intention mustered in the action writing of writing poetry, as indeed you have done here.

    'do thorns bleed intention or protect us sharply,
    from the truth,'

    ..... Wow! This is the part that really found home with me.
    Always, always... bleed with intention... please, guard against nothing!

    LOVE IT!!

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!
    Your choice of words is very good. Not long but very deep, magical and a bit philosophical...
    Your choice of colours and your background is perfect.

    Thank you so much for entering this in my contest. I hope you enter again. If you do, you have IM with the titles of your poems.
    Keep on writing,

    Nooni

    (may i take the background?? it would mostly be personal use on my computer)

    Love the images of a curageous poet, the hungered soul, and agree with Bibby that it is a wise poem.

    I do like this question you've posed, and I suppose the answer is both, depending on the circumstances. Of course the real question is, what circumstance are you into? That is a rhetorical question of course and needs no answer. But it is avery wise poem.
