The Rosebush
Despite the clouds
Despite the tempest
I will stay
My sands are
Crowded with shadows
Dark and irritating
In your bouquet
I have seen
Splash of love
Despite the cactuses
Despite the nettles
I will stay
I have been
To many temples
Same lonely shadows
I have been
To churches too
Same tall eucalyptus
I have been
To many windows
Didn't find rose
Despite the refusal
Your sharp statements
A flame was unmistakeable
A flame for
My hungry palm
Waves of warmth
Green and soft
Leaves like lotus
Peace in nucleus
A blue nest
A little rest
A cool fireplace
My shocked canvas
Tired and torn
Will now rest
Let me lean
Against your thorn
Until the day
The flowers glow
