Trauma

TRAUMA

Twist the knife,
Riddled with her innocence,
Against her sweet nectar.
Untimely budding,
Mastered by machination, unimaginable
Aberration of rose’s robbery ~ thorns remain intact.

Very evocative write..I see “exploitation “ well defined here..A rose that symbolizes the femininity, the fragile aspect of life …the thorn as courage and perseverance that no matter what happen..will continue to fight..I love this poem..A fave for me.

Great contrast between fine roses and thorns. However know that there are rose plants that do not develop thorns, Hugs

Poem is about the pain…the thorns left for a lifetime after she has been attacked. God bless.
