Array ( [sid] => 16238 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Rose [time] => 2003-04-19 16:05:00 [hometext] => * Aww a very pretty title, but if you open this what you will read will NOT be pretty. I won't confuse you with the story behind this. * [bodytext] => I see a rose
Beautiful, red, innocent,
But surrounded by cruel thorns
In my haste and blindness
The beauty of the rose
Captivates me, steals my senses

In my whimpering, childlike state
I crawl, unworthy, to the rose
Reach up a scarred, muddied hand
So it can be mine

My arm bloodied and torn
Skin singed by the thorns,
But the rose is mine!
I persevered despite the pain
Blood falls singing to the ground
Joyous to be free from me,

But like a bumbling, clumsy idiot
I crush the rose, fragile now broken
The petals drift to the ground
And lie at my feet, broken and sad

I stare not wanting to admit
I destroyed something so beautiful
And I know what they represent
An animal cry emits from me
Because everything beautiful I destroy
And I keep moving on... like a disease [comments] => 10 [counter] => 200 [topic] => 32 [informant] => bobotheclown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

You always seem to bring out the darker side of beauty in your poems, casting a shadow with your tragic words. A shadow cannot exist however without light and so some beauty always shines through.

As usual well written....
