Rose Part I

Folder: 
Black

Sweet and fresh like a red, red rose

Deep crimson as red blood that flows

through my petals like thrusts of

hot passion. They smell my lusciousness

and are intoxicated

into seizures of drunken lasciviousness.

My soft petals caress their face

with gentility and warmth

like a velvet kerchief.

They touch my stem and my thorns

prick them.

The sight of their open flesh

frightens them.

A part of them exposed

...and they do not pick me.
