Thistle Dance


ambrosia of need
I am but
a common weed
bold bittersweet plant
with touch
that can enchant
come here
let me lure
reach for me
I am your cure
you are drawn to me
you cannot deny
no reason for you
to question why
I draw you in closer
to this trance
by the night
we thistle dance
once the place
where roses schemed
I lay in the garden
of your dreams

I’m not disappointed,  I never expected anything from you.

Very nice, thistles have beauty also,
So do many ‘weeds’
I remember as a child
Picking bouquets of Dandelions
They always made my mother smile

Helen,
This reminds me of my first poem for Adult,
The rain in the thistle.

(go find it )

If you get any better I will have to stop writing so I won't be embarrassed

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
