Roses bloomed Where I never planted them They were wild Yet beautiful all the same Each bud would bloom When the sun is near Yet petals would fall With raindrops and tears I tried to keep them From growing in my garden Yet sunshine Always made the roses blomm How long would I be growing Wild roses in my garden? How long would sharp thorns Cut me and make me bleed? Today I cut my self again Against a prickly rose thorn Raindrops fell and petals fell Until the sun came out to play Dear sun, bright and beautiful Unknowingly makes the roses grow No matter how hard I try I don't have the heart to let him go. |

Poignant write... one never knows what one might find, among the wild roses... |

J.Samm The quality of something growing wild, is what makes it so appealing to me. From your poem, I see that you see the beauty too. Well done. |

A very beautiful write, and one I can relate to, having also been pricked by those thorns more than once. And yet, I would not hestitate to reach out for one again, even knowing. Enjoying the metaphor, yes, romance is much like that, you might not choose to avoid it even knowing the possible consequences. I enjoyed reading this, thank you for sharing. |
