a ROSE......



Born with thorns,
Crimsoned for love;
Taken ages ago,
To witness the fresh innocence
Of two passion filled souls.

I bloomed and sustained
Under a table lamp,
Listening to words and sighs,
Bringing sparkling smiles
To a girl lost in wonderland.

My red now fades,
But I still live and breathe-
Concealed in a book,
Listening to tears and tales
Of a painfully dying love.

I’m held dear now,
With memories and a broken heart.
Not all love is true
Like we are told always,
Hence, roses have thorns.

  2. Great thought...You've presented the other side of rose...

    My red now fades,
    But I still live and breathe-
    Concealed in a book,
    Listening to tears and tales
    Of a painfully dying love.

    I really loved these words....
