A rose
December 17, 2017
"A rose
Is poetic
In every sense.
She has beautiful petals
With layers.
As many layers as the human's heart
After finding love
Or losing life.
Her stem is prickly
Like walls put up
To guard the human's
Fragile feelings.
Her magnificent
Features are a delicacy
To savor,
Yet she stabs
If you think of doing more than looking.
She smells of the sweetest angel
But is colored the blood of the richest man.
Beautiful alive, beautiful dead.
I could go on for hours."
"I beg
Don't go on for hours.
A rose is just
A flower."
© Madeline Shea B., Brooklyn, NY
