Blissful Thorn

Like pollen to the bee
I am drawn to thee
Your sweetness intoxicating
Like bears to honey
with disposition sunny
your charm alluring
	Yet
Like the prick of a rose
to the unaware nose
your intentions alarming
and the blissful thorn
from the skin torn
a thankful awakening

I like the flow of this poem and the words. The first stanza flows very well and is intoxicating with love. I like the shift in the second half of the poem. It certainly reflects a different image. The juxtapositioning is excellent. Great job! ~Joseph
