Rose

You bleed yourself to unfold the magic of your musk
And robe yourself in the colors of your blood.

Your heart is a whorl of light that darkness cannot touch;
for the largess of your fumes are your arms
that caress darkness with compassion.

You teach that beauty can be found among thorns.

Please tell me what you think

    I plan to revise this poem: please leave constructive criticism!

    good

    Hey Manoguru!

    Did I inspire you to write this with my silly poem about roses that you commented on a few days ago?? I am flattered if this is so!

    I think roses are great because I am a country sort of person and a gardener ( roses I like.... but not quite as much as herbs - and I like the more unusual herbs, for our country, from Asia and the Mediterranean countries when I am able to get them to grow here! lol!!)

    I have always wanted to be one of those people who can look at a Rose and tell you it's name in latin and exactly from which part of the world it first originated! But alas I haven't got the time to develop my knowledge of these things!!!

    Have a good evening friend.

    A S
