ROSES
No bed of roses
no bed of roses
my lifes been a whirlwind of drama and bad luck and its taking its toll
i feel like i dont truly belong on this planet and its hurting my soul
all i do is feel the same day in and day out and i want it to stop
one more minute feeling this way i will surely lose it and pop
life isnt what i thought it would be and my arms are my releases
livings way to hard and its way to cruel and is no bed of roses
because my past is filled with tear stained pillows and ghosts locked up
and my future isnt written yet and my present is an empty cup
filled with uncertainties and sadness and in my mind ive died many times
in my dreams the moment i die all noises hush and all i hear are chimes
lifes way to hard and its way too grim and its no bed of roses
yet here i am rolling with the tide and staring at my waiting arms
and the urge to relieve myself becomes all comsuming with great alarm
i cry as i let the pain wash over my arm and smile all while i feel nothing too
its done what needed to be done and shame washes over me but what can i do
so why the sadness when i look down and see the scars there upon my arms
to find sweet release right there in the flesh and find the need to do myself harm
because my life is to damned right down to my soul and its no bed of roses

HOW A COUPLE I KNOW MET
*
They met at an Emotions Anonymous
meeting. Each was considering
suicide after the death of a beloved spouse.
It was paradoxical that though they were
each in emotional pain, their auras
healed each other.
As they began to talk to each other
their minds which had for months
been in turmoil were powerless to stop the
magnetic energy which flowed from each
to the other.

Roses Against Weeds
Our love is a rose
Smelling of sweet seduction
Beautiful, standing out in a bed of thorns
Cherished for being exactly what it is
Bold in its ways
Buds of truth, strength, and loyalty
Seeds of hope and faith
Stemmed from the roots of life
Blossoming with each day
Defeats the persistent weeds
A rose for every season
Our love never wilting
Painful Reality
....................
Roses in a vase, he received from his true love,
Forced by an armed hand, to pretend to some other his love,
Oh how painful, I feel your sorrow, cutting like a knife,
Please know when you associate in waters so rancid
It will bring you nothing but strife.
"Your roses gave me comfort", he told me,
"Upon my darkest hours,
My heart is yours forever, my love,
Through all the worst of our showers."
Reality can be alarming, but hope is always close,
If it was truly love it will leave you with a ghost,
Take the ghost and make it all the good things that you shared,
Learn the lessons, and if you do
another chance with the next person might keep you spared.
For love is the great teacher, if we only take it's hand,
We cannot learn what love can teach, from a woman or a man,
We have to stand our ground so firmly in integrity and faith,
And never be fooled into thinking that love will be given
Through you helping to foster someone else's disgrace.

Sweet morning rose.
Morning dew glistens
upon the soft scented petals
of a beautiful rose
awakened by the warming sun
to display it's inner beauty
as it starts to unfold
in celebration
along with joyful bird song
as a new day has begun.

When the fire of life and passion burns out
The dead roses of december lie at the foot of the grave of our love
the passion rots away in the cold dark earth of anger
the bones of sorrow remain long after the flesh is gone
and forgotten in the fog of time, is the union of life and youth..
Bloom
Summer theory
upon the wind
and glistening hill.
Soft and sweet
the satin sent;
of rose bud bloom
and new life's tune.
The Rose.
Even a rose has such a kiss,
Petals heavy with moisture and scent's bliss.
The colour could stand for the anticipation.
One's taste for the flower's precipitation.
The softness of the petal for the gentle touch.
So steady and intense for little as much.
The thorns could stand for a little bite,
A cute nip, the softness forgotten in spite.
The thick of the stem would represent the bond.
Of course; the bond, such a likeness, made so fond.
The lust held in each moisturized, thick rose,
Would be the love one is filled from their head to their toes.
The story behind each of these historic flowers,
Is the life that one creates for the rose's power.
Almost every love story has a rose.
What is your fairytale, where Prince Charming may propose?
Death By Roses
Lovers they were
Lovers they thought
They would forever be
And this is the lesson to be taught
Coming home one night
Two dozen black roses
He held for her in his hand
She will like them he supposes
Then he stumbles upon
What he never thought he’d see
He found her in bed
With not one man but three
In a fit of sexual rage
He ties each to a bedpost
Silently debating to himself
Who he wanted to hurt most
Holding six roses at a time
He used the stems of the roses
To saw into their necks
He left them in their ghastly poses
He watched them die
In doing so an erection grew
With her dying breath
She watched he spew
