The Thorn of Truth The flowers that you sent me Say all that need be said Velvet promises made Within petals of wine-red They sat upon my table Possibilities in a vase Unopened buds a testimony Of the truth you would not face You should have seen it coming Our relationship was doomed The evidence sits in glass In the roses that never bloomed |

Corazon and Sunny1, it's so good to be missed! If you two keep using the word "perfectly", I may get addicted to this...Sven and Elizabeth, sometimes the fates give us all the signs we need. Terry and Vicky, thank you for taking the time to read and comment on my little verse. Take me as I am or watch me as I go |
