Look Not on the Thorns

Be not afraid of my mean features.
You have them too, you know.
Our friendship includes pain
Not unexpected,

Thorny Blessings (haiku)

Just imagine
how fragile would be the rose
without her thorns

White Rose

The rose bush is tall and statuesque

its leaves a lustrous dark green

the branches firm and thorny

Roses

roses, they huddle

      into red carpets

           to hold your smile

Petals of Luv

Sweetest

is the roses fair.

A Loving Caress – form writing

The more you pull off

Thorns

Every rose has its thorn
So they said

I felt those roses so
Bloom my love
Held on roots, of fears

Table-top Rose

Deep red. Red rose.
Folds liken to a lover’s heart.
Layers swirl seen as copious.
Inland cove betroths do know.

“Morning Prescription”

(Poetry Challenge 3)

 “You should see the sun this morning!

Which pain pill do you need, it’s seven?”

The blushing-pearly roses blurry

Seemed frostbitten~

“They Say, I’ve been Told”

I’ve heard said that making love

Without barriers or brakes

Dreams are forgotten and get lost,

The deluge of the delirious

Fades~

Exhaustion walks in and desire grows cold~

They say,

So I’ve been told~

If such is Love, ours still has more than half
