Violets and Roses

Folder: 
Deeper Meanings

Violets are dark

Roses are bright

I smelt the roses

that one summer night



The smell was so soft

So soothing and sweet

That I had to bend over

To sample this treat



The darkness had blinded me

To the surprise that lay ahead

I expected soft texture

But i found thorns instead



Let this be a lesson

Do not find out on your own

I have fallen to temptation

And since then I have known



When something seems sweet

And inoocent at first glance

If you trust those first senses

You take a great chance



For lurking in the darkness

The sweetest roses do

Have thorns on thier stems

This I warn you
