Bleeding for thorns
I shall not be taken from the garden
like a withering leaf
Your beauty merely a silk rose
How do I love what does not understand thirst?
What does not crave light...
What leaves no scent or inner beauty when I close my eyes
How do I love what is too easy to grasp?
Let me a thorn to know I can feel again.

"I shall not be taken from the garden
like a withering leaf
Your beauty merely a silk rose" - you do not own me, i am not your toy to play with. (splendid imagery in this stanza).
"How do I love what does not understand thirst?
What does not crave light...
What leaves no scent or inner beauty when I close my eyes" - you do not know what Love is, so much growing left to do.( i admire the thirst aspect and undying,needing to be quenched,quelled; extinguish me like a fire and watch as i smolder.
"How do I love what is too easy to grasp?
Let me a thorn to know I can feel again. " - i need to feel the keen sting of Love once again, this relationship no longer breathes a lust it once did. it is time to fix or move on...
sad but an excellent write Nourish.great thoughts and questions pushing from this piece.
well penned.
