Bloodshed Worthy

Posted on by Penny Wilson Writes 

The Rose-

Velvet petals
soft as a kiss

dew embraced with
alluring scent

intoxicate

tempted fingers
covet

thorns ignored
pain endured

bloodshed
worthy

to possess such
beauty

  1. If you want the rose, you must also accept the thorns beneath it.
    Beauty is not the absense of pain but the understanding of it.

    Amazing poem, Ms Wilson.
