The well worn path,
Familiar with my footprints
My secret place to hide n seek
An old gazebo adorned in a riot of wild roses
The sweet fragrance fills my soul
Peaceful; time is not cruel here.
Yellow daffodils, violets, pink peonies, red rose
Birds on a wire chatter their woes

Restless.... seeking....

I wander aimlessly
Overgrown path and untamed jungle
Thorns and brambles
Feral beasts lie in wait to devour

Why do I always seek the perfect rose amongst the thistles?

Poetry is:
Passion, imagination and intellect running together.

Aloha with warmest regards, Cheryl Stewart Koomoa

For no other reason then roses grow thorns.
Enjoyed.

Beautiful imagery CSKpoet, and a wonderful closing line to turn the tables on the beautiful visual you described. Well done!

Best wishes,

Yellow roses,  silken poses.....
thorns of the bramble meet.
Once to sparkle in the gleam
as two hearts trilling beat.

Somehow,  I think I just got stuck
by a thorn...gotta watch out for
those brambles and thorns..

Nice one Cher,  saying a lot of life
and living....
