John Francis Roces Poet Free verse

Rose

I love your shade
Dark yet bright
Contradicting parts
A harmonious sight

Your lovely swings
An angel’s dance
A fall by cut
What a bloody jive

I am your soil
You are my plant
Trampled by water
Crushed by stream

You are my thorn
My unkind end
My hurt, my loss
Truly, my rose
