Sometimes a Rose

She's sometimes a rose and sometimes a thorn

Sometimes she's a diamond and sometimes a stone

Sometimes she's sweet and sometimes she's sour

Sometimes she's weak and then full of power

Sometimes she's polluted and sometimes she's pure

Sometimes she is cancer
Sometimes she's the cure

Sometimes she's my friend and sometimes she's my foe

Sometimes she's erotic with x-ray eyes

Sometimes she's enlightened like a spiritual spy

Sometimes she's a raven and sometimes a dove

Sometimes she is hate and sometimes she is love

She shines like the sun and then rains like a storm

She's sometimes a rose and sometimes a thorn

This makes, this time a year so true. Anthony, I enjoy the roughness and the smooth way you paint her by mind. Almost like mother nature. Who is everything... :)Have yourself a sweet valentine's Day. ~SKAT LOVE~
