Roses suffuse tired eyes with blooms, serrated thorns, currently pruned her depleted heart beats double time, delicate, childlike, state of mind cries red petals divulging pain, stepping outside historic chains raises noble sword in warrior stance ~ fights for justice, divine truth dance.

Joanna, these are powerful words indeed. Themes as cold as steel in fact just like the sword of a Samurai. The idea of loss - loss of a child perhaps and / or abuse weigh heavy on my mind after reading this. I feel the anger and desire that rages within as a result of any of these tragic events from your work.

Thank you for your comment. I agree as cold as the steel on a samurai. It was a difficult one to write, but I'm happy with it. I don't tend to enjoy writing long poems, I have a short attention span. :-) Have a lovely day.

A very fine brevity rich in imagery. It's listed as freeverse but seems to rhyme(?).

Thank you. Yes you're right it is rhyme. Thank you. I'll change it now.

This is a great poem! The meter creates a soothing rhythm against the heavy subject matter.
