Where Wild Roses Grow

Let's run to where the roses of love lean on our unbroken breaths let us remind them of where their soil was salvaged from found under the ash of anger's arson where hearts once abandoned, beat the body of Life for purpose, how we encountered one another in the smoldering aftermath, together gathering rich, dark soul soil for our special destiny, revealing to them their origin as blood seeds of reborn heartbeats, we should teach them the depths of their hungry roots how they'll never cease to reach deeper into the desire we share, we'll tell them the truth of their wild bloom, let us run my Love to where our roses burn red on the hot horizon - J.A.B.

Justin, this is where passion becomes prophecy--every line unfurls like a rose grown from ruin. “Blood seeds of reborn heartbeats” is unforgettable. The imagery burns, roots, and blossoms all at once. What a beautiful, smoldering tribute to love forged in fire.

"we should teach them the depths of their hungry roots" ... you have such an imagination and a desire for the REAL and TANGIBLE in your poetry. Not just the shadows, but the objects. Not just the present, but the history. Not just the facet ... but the everything. Your words are explosive in the images and feelings they conjure.

There is something about a Rose, its beauty- its alluring fragrance. Imagining being in a bed of roses. Petals upon the skin, the sensation as love- like thorns, digs deeply in. Never let me free. I long to stay in such a moment. This beautiful and sensual. Simply breathtaking. :) Brandy
