Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Verse

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.
