[hometext] => An inspired response to William Blake's poem, 'My Pretty Rose-Tree'.
[bodytext] => Tendencies To know your thorns would be a greater delight Than ignorance of crimson light. In the shadows where I daren’t conspire Or dream of using breath nor fire To warm my flower, lest I blaze The opportunity of this God-sent phase. For innocence is pure and sage. I would not pick what hasn’t aged. But opportunity I dare not miss To venture once again to bliss. Not to corrupt but live the dream Of a thorn to prove that I would bleed.
