Such a flower of beauty Quite perfect in creation This flower when compared to love Is strong in its relation Its aroma will allure you The fragrance will entrance If it captures all your senses Your heart begins to dance The colors know no boundary T'ween yellow, white and red And love sees not what's outside But what's inside instead Its petals folded tightly They delicately entwine And form a bond together That grows stronger over time Tis quite a thing of beauty As it starts with petals closed And opens to full bloom As love does when it grows |

This is exceptional WhtDove. But... There is something you've forgotten Something that I quite insist. There is something you've forgotten. Tis never just like this. For these flowers are so beautiful. No one can disagree. They can draw blood so ruthlessly. Great caution, with degree. As with love, these words hold so true. Never just jump in. The thorns you find, can scar the soul. The rose can scar the skin. The purest love I wish for all, This is a simple fact. Look before you hurt yourself, and all will be intact. Sorry WhtDove...this just came over me. I hope I didn't offend. [This message has been edited by Marilyn (edited 10-25-1999).] |

To both Whtdove and Marilyn: I like both of your poems, and both are quite true. Love is the aroma that sweetens my life, but it is also one of the proverbial thorns in my side, among other things. Great work, both of ya. ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |
