The Rose Number 1

the rose is a beauty to behold
it is loved by most women on this earth
is it because the rose is like a woman? 
when it opens up and spreads its petals
it shows the beauty within and the softness to the touch.
yet just like a woman it has its thorns to protect its beauty.
so is the woman who has been betrayed-she will never be the same
she will protect the beauty like a spider protects its web.

so this is what i see.

the beauty of a woman which is locked up inside
will bloom like a rose with nothing to hide.
her beauty will be admired by men of all nations
they'll try to get to her to feel the sensation.
the sensation of knowing she is the one
    who could raise the setting sun.
so as men we have to take care
for once we get into their hair
they'll be no way of turning back
until she combs her hair and loosens up the slack.
she will have us like a spider has its web
and suck us dry until we're dead.
but! what a wonderful death it will be
as long as we live in harmony.

Women are like roses, Louis. Even as they age, there is an inner beauty while the petals on the exterior fall. If you show her respect, you will live in harmony forever. But cross a woman, and the web will tighten like a noose. Very clever analogy, my friend. Love, Carolyn
