poems of innocence

Broken lives, abundant living.—CAB

lament
“My life is part humor, part roses, part thorns.”—Bret Michaels
thou art so red
upon thy bed
as hands reach out to pluck thee
then when thou fad'st
art crudely laid'st
as former suiters mock thee
thy glory days
are but a haze
thy fragrance sweet soon sickens
the vigilance
of thorns that dance
at morn no longer quickens
for thou are spent
where men have bent
to kiss thee in the garden
now withereth
thy shibboleth
thy gold worth not one farthing
