THE ROSE THAT GROWS NEXT DOOR

Why
Why did you ask why we did that?
Who knows? 
Who knows why the rebel held a rose
A rose who rose to the occasion
And lent lessons on how to hold a flower
Properly and not as property or such
Tender to the touch
Lest flakes of red be shed by lips of moisture born
Two souls so close
Two minds set so far apart
But heart met panting heart on nights of youthful yearning
The rebel bent on learning
The rose dripping virgin dew
And all this so brand new
The rose laid the rebels head gently upon a cloud angels claimed her bed
While a rebel was held captive by every petal and what the rose had said
She said “I be a rose for a rebel to behold
I, a bit older yet here to soothe two souls smoldering desires
A rose who glows and a rebel who sets fires”
……………………..Why
Did you ask why we did that?
Who knows?
Do you my rebel’s rose?
