Rose Poems
#rose
Rose poems, here you'll find poetry about roses, a symbol of delicate beauty, tainted innocence and immortal love. Nature and symbolic poetry about roses, from a fragile petal to a sharp prick from a thorn. White roses symbolise purity, red roses passion and love and a black rose is associated with gothic beauty and death.

Black Baccara Colored Glasses
And so the light of day
Is the death of romance
That flourished
In the creeping black
Of a moonless midnight
Dying slow
Crawling towards
The acid bath
Of a noon day sun
From which
My eyes
Rolled back
Towards the place
Where love sprouted
To push up towards
The promised land
But here
On terra firma
I find promise
Hollow
I mistook
Pain today
For hope
Tomorrow
I indulged
My rage
A bitter wine
Most...
Is the death of romance
That flourished
In the creeping black
Of a moonless midnight
Dying slow
Crawling towards
The acid bath
Of a noon day sun
From which
My eyes
Rolled back

Where love sprouted
To push up towards
The promised land
But here
On terra firma

Rose Decay
So he's fixing to
Bend the knee
Saw him on the
Sidewalk with the ring
We're the blooming rose garden
Hurry up before the night darkens
Go ahead grab the
Clippers and clip away
We don't mind
Our rose display
Love to see your smiling faces
Happiness for crystal vases
It's okay we'll be the rose display
We saw you sneaking out
The other night
Finally came back
Glad you're alright
Go ahead grab
Your chainsaw
And cut away
We...
Bend the knee
Saw him on the
Sidewalk with the ring
We're the blooming rose garden
Hurry up before the night darkens
Go ahead grab the
Clippers and clip away
We don't mind
Our rose display
Love to see your smiling faces
Happiness for crystal vases
It's okay we'll be the rose display
We saw you sneaking out
The other night
Finally came back
Glad you're alright
Go ahead grab
Your chainsaw
And cut away

(…)
I am running through golden leaves
With the ghosts of he who grieves:
Chained to my sight, weary to the horizon
Fades in blood what was to be my sun.
This love—the sweetest thorn to taste.
Such flavors as I have embraced.
And still upon my lips is the specter
Of the ache of so divine a nectar.
What presence do we carve of the cold
The unholy shades of the rose of old?
The bleeding hand that grasps the bloom
Is the same which seals the cheerless gloom.
I see my love compared with faceless thine
And...

[2021] Bitter Homes and Gardens
Being all flowery softspoken
to passersby on the sidewalk
gets you nowhere when
you're still a little prick
underneath their rosy outlooks
withering on the vine
regardless of how
they weather you
in this moment
and your time
under the sun
will come to an end
whether ready or not to
pluck off
Hey, there! 's
always next year
to passersby on the sidewalk
gets you nowhere when
you're still a little prick
underneath their rosy outlooks
withering on the vine
regardless of how
they weather you
in this moment
and your time
under the sun
will come to an end
whether ready or not to
pluck off
Hey, there! 's
always next year

Sprawl of Pricks
Velvet rosary
Coloured a dark crimson shade
Climbing vast with thorns

Rose Of Paper
You are alike to a fine paper rose
Perfectly crafted, scarlet and snow white.
Within your eyes the paper rosebud grows
Sanguine and bright, the most beauteous sight.
A petal of white ~ A petal of red
Blend into pink as they shamelessly blush.
Colours of you, how they go to my head,
Remind me of summer, sun kissed and lush.
My paper rose crinkles, held in my palm;
So softly, gently the sound greets my ears.
Retarding my heartbeat ~ tranquilly calm,
As soft as raindrops ~ god's heavenly tears.
Flower of nature must...
Perfectly crafted, scarlet and snow white.
Within your eyes the paper rosebud grows
Sanguine and bright, the most beauteous sight.
A petal of white ~ A petal of red
Blend into pink as they shamelessly blush.
Colours of you, how they go to my head,
Remind me of summer, sun kissed and lush.
My paper rose crinkles, held in my palm;
So softly, gently the sound greets my ears.
Retarding my heartbeat ~ tranquilly calm,
As soft as raindrops ~ god's heavenly tears.

Ohhhh You..... Little human, Youuuu....
.your obvious illicit opinion of me....
(.....shows vividly your view of me as an illiterate, illegitimate, improper taboo.
...A, "NO NO...."
....eyes are precise....
....when a soul has been Freed from the wools that the world tried to smother them with.
Yet an unofficial, unlicensed and interdicted opinion is taken as OUTSIDE THE LAW.
.....by this forbidden, verboten WILDCAT!

My Bounce Back
Received your flowers,
you have no power left here;
calling my rebound.

a discovered worth of all things.
ethereal skin in exquisite
lavender shaded hues
velvet petal'd
securely found
within a layered curl
O' tightly
this bud is bound
rich in tantalizing
scented flare
whimsy in glisten, fair
ease and caution
a dichotomy of love
is spark'd
in a floral heart
never forgotten
a stare
of uniquely gaze
reflecting back a beautiful face
sensing of such pride
an unfurling in full grace
wishes upon dewy crowns
pierced by ardent thorns
as a proven beloved ...
