The Sonnet also Roses'

By Mad Jack

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Rose what dost thou feel, Rose what dost thou need Is it with loves' ambrosia thou dost bleed Or some archaic semblance of fancy Lo, I would drown sweetly in that fancy Thorny words arise, past them I will trace For that heavenly nectar, your embrace They cut, I bleed, strengthened with each healing Onward, head reeling, nectar appealing I brave the battle I am past the thorns I am in sight of the one love adorns Sweet nectar at last, my heart is exposed Alas, I crumble, the petals are closed Why does your love not fly like pure white doves Is it sealed up by the scars of past loves I have fought the battles and passed the test I plead for some small token in my quest Sweet flower, my worth is less than you need Would I could help you from your pain be freed I am frozen in place within your thrall As my last breath leaves I await your call Written March 26th, 2002 © on Mar 26 2002 06:50 AM PST   0 • 8
