A lotus in mire,
A rose amid thorns,
A cactus in desert,
A creation in derision,
A song of beauty
Born in adversity!!

soft bed of roses
evokes dreams of happiness...
yet beware of thorns:
opinions, overthinking
can often lead to sadness

What makes me human

Memory;
It’s what makes me human;
Sometimes with thorns
But it is the only way,
To touch the moisture
Of the human form;
art

His cross right in front of me
His face, his thorns
His eyes

Two thousand green leaves
I need to love you, said clouds
I gaze on my thorns

Flowers and Thorns

Monster

I fear my monster
Powerful and beautiful.
With her deadly green thorns
And two piercing green eyes
She screams for me to let her out.

Curtains

Printed curtains

(billowing rose
 with a light behind
 & a garden scent)

& if they are not roses
(at least)
they have no thorns.

Notre Dame erupted in fire
Ghosts gasped in the funeral pyre
For the Devil's horns

Held fast by an angelic choir

Caught in branches
Struggle but thorns dig in deeper
Wait for help

Black thorns become pink rose leaves
Grey foes orange friends

Memories Thorns

Picked before you bloomed 
your loss brings me to my knees 
playbacks run too long 
remembrances felt so strong... 
slipping now into my dreams

stoic expression
though prickly thorns stabbed her breast
silent suffering

lingering sorrow 
memories drift unbidden
closure is denied
