Bouille Rochdi Poet Rhyme

Raise Your Head

Without thorns,
A rose is not a rose;
Without rhythm and rhyme,
Poetry is just a prose.
I don't put pen to paper in order to kill time,
For if I did that;
I would certainly be committing a sordid crime.
Time is not meant to be wasted or "killed"
Every moment, with goodness; should be filled.

Without thorns,
A rose is not a rose;
Without rhythm and rhyme,
Poetry is just a prose.
Blinded, I fell into the quicksand.
I was dying, slowly; painfully,
And no one was there to give a helping hand.
Shake dreams from your hair!
Open up your chest to the soothing air!

Without thorns,
A rose is not a rose;
Without rhythm and rhyme,
Poetry is just a prose.
Not every sky is vast and blue,
Not every smile is real or true.
Beyond the dark trees of doubt,
There is a green plain of certainty;
Raise your head!
