Roses and Their Thorns - a Collab

ROSES AND THEIR THORNS Soft, oh! so soft feather like scarlet petals peeking glorious from the loft tenderly unfolding in orbital. Its fragile sublime beauty mirrors life reality. A slight touch may inscribe long-lasting mark. Tuning to a harmony divine protecting herself with thorns thine. Each angle of bloom reveals a piece of self that homely embraces hope and growth.. the rose... It's dark all around me, I long for the dawn of day Catching glimpses above me, lunar orb Appeases my nightly sway Soon I'll unfold, and allow my beauty to say: "Hold me gently, Hold me dear Caress me slow, so slow... as I will break or bleed if tight, so so tight.." Linger on my supple petals let my scent satiate you with delight.... yet, careful careful as down my stem are sharp thorns ready to put an emblem. my beauty comes gracefully with thorns Creating mystery and tragedy to my form. written in collaboration: James Fraser and OliVe Eloisa (thanks James...:D ) 10:21 pm September 01, 2014
