ROSES AND THORNS is yet-still another love poem - memories of times of love lost....

ROSES AND THORNS


Everything
is roses and thorns

can you smell the beauty?

I am bleeding here and there

no place to grow
except in this
fine soil

I'm deep red
green stem
hope
hope is green

War is red too

when I last was in a
War
I lost

can you smell the petals
falling?

potpourri
smells of beauty
that died

a heap of petals
means
whatever was picked
had been living

as if a love is spent
like the beauty
of a rose

long past
its prime
