Wild Rose
scarlet streaked with yellow
I lean to breathe in her scent
I reach out to feel her touch 
she pricks me
and I bleed...
bleed her scarlet fever
bleed her yellow fever
she needs me to bleed
so gladly I bleed
scarlet streaked with yellow...

Narrow cobblestone lanes
          The clop-clop of horse-drawn buggies
            The crack of the whip...

          Pots of Steam on blackened stoves

Forbidden Rose
scarlet streaked with yellow
I lean in to inhale her scent
I reach out to feel her touch 
she pricks me
and I bleed
bleed her yellow fever
bleed her scarlet fever
she needs me to bleed
so gladly I bleed
scarlet streaked with yellow...

she grows
she flourishes
in my garden of pain
and delight...

Dedicated to 'The Rose of Texas' - Irma Linda (PD)...

Scarlet
Scarlet heart, smile for me now or never 
The thought of you brings me scarlet fever 
Your red pigment reminds me of saccharine caress 
Your orange tinge reminisces sour-sweet embrace 

Your playful voice brings thundering rhapsody 
Your luscious lips are like zones of fantasy 
Your beauty is perpetually exquisite 
Your daring look, only fools would resist 

*For Cordillera girl*
