Thorny Rose

What is thy true love but a thorned rose?
Red as the blood coursing through us all
Swelling our hearts with divine interpose
Loosing thy breathe with heavenly thrall
Is it gift or curse, of adoration or regret?
What we yearn, not have, and not hold
Gentle feelings betray us with lusting abet
To find it we seek, in our cold lonely wold
To grasp such beauty with vicious clasp
Will draw our blood from love’s thorny prick
Its splendor and promise, the soul it does rasp
Exquisite yet hurtful, it conjures its trick
Truest of loves is like a rose with its thorns
Fulfillment so grand, it ominously warns

steve,
This sonnet is just beautiful. I have tried
writing sonnets and they never read right.
But yours is awesome. Yes sonnets suit
you well.
Be safe and thank you again for your service

Steve I am DOUBLY pleased to see this posted!! It is absolutely lovely, my friend,
though there is a deep rooted melancholy from which your words grow. So many
poems in the past have used the rose as a metaphor, but yours is one I've not yet
experienced. It is both unique and captivating. This is so lovingly written, (the
essence of that is obvious), but I can almost feel the tears that must have
fallen into your ink well as you dipped your quill in and spread their emotion
across the page with every syllable. Masterful work, my friend.
Be safe and keep a hope alive. All my prayers are with you.
Hurry back to us soon. :)
~ Breezy
(utterly humbled that you were moved)
