What will be my fate

I dwell upon relationships
Of those within my diadem.
On the sanity and the pain
Of salt and pepper dusting them.

I think on those inner prods
And the terrors and the tolls.
Judge upon the constant drives
And the tortures and controls?

I dwell upon the spawning rose
And on the thorn supported stem.
The wondrous beauty scented bud
The dangers of collecting them.

I ponder female parallels
Their sculptured forms and of their fates.
Watch their swirling impasse eddies
Avoid the thorns of dogma states.

And I puzzle, how will be my vend
And what will be my fate and end.

Snow,
Impasse eddies can really mess you up, thanks for the comments.

Thank you for the doubble read.
Denice,
My heart, brain and toes have settled in my finger tips.
