A Field Of Roses Poem by Sandy Rondo

I’m running towards a field of roses
Running through tall grass
I dive right into the beautiful petals
But they break like thin glass
The thorns stab through my delicate skin
As I sink down into the leafs
I realize what I once thought beautiful
Could be the thing that would utmost deceive me
I desperately try to crawl out
But realize I’m in over my head
In these beautiful delicate flowers
With sharp razor blade stems
The roots like my own veins
Seem like they are connected to me
Holding me down
Breathing the roses sweet scent into my blood stream
As the stems like in a horror movie scene
Begin to crawl up over me
And as all light begins to fade
Everything labeled Life
Begins to slip away
