The beauty of a Rose, its pure innocence,
The glee it brings when it’s greatness is gifted.
The heart of the beholder filled with wonder,
The senses are taken and one by one are lifted.
The eyes compare this single and individual flower,
To other types, different kinds and breeds.
By far it exceeds its expectations, its presence causes delight,
By comparison other flowers are weeds.
The nostrils take in this pleasing aroma,
The smell of perfection oozes even from its very name.
The inhaled pollen gently nests inside the smeller;
The Rose and the lover become indistinguishably the same.
But alas, perfection, beauty, love, all only mask what is hidden below, A secret that must remain.
The reality of the Rose shows a sorrowful being,
Saddened by its curse, the potential to cause great pain.
The happiness and the joy, the eternal unquestioning love,
The Rose can turn all this to scorn.
The beautiful creation, the sad and scared soul,
Only too aware of the truth; Every Rose has a Thorn.
Beautiful poem with a great sentiment and theme to it. Really enjoyed reading it....very well written. SG
THIS IS VERY TRUE AND IF A ROSE MEANS BEAUTY THERE SHOULD BE A THORN TO GUARD IT FROM BEING RUINED TO HAVE ITS BALANCE THIS IS A SYMBOLIC WRITE VERY NICE
Daniel, It is good poem... But is not felt east scent... it's not secretly that Every rose thorned .....Every rose has potential to cause great pain. and anyone who falls in her love, should be ready to accept pains also from her... Best wishes, Tsira.
Thorns in the roses, yes it can cause pain..but only to those who carelessly tried to pick the flower. To the bearer of the thorns it might be a protection, to shield a scared being. Just like a human's heart, doesn't it? Sometimes the persons who have the capacity to love more are the most afraid, so they protect themselves. So..people or flowers, we should always be gentle to avoid hurting them and of course, avoid hurting ourselves. Its Life. The message of the poem is very sentimental. I admire you for having the imagination and the talent to put it into beautifully written piece of art. Continue writing. Thank you for sharing.10
The roses spell curse this poem, why? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? i smell it scent sweetly eye sight, but somehow i can feel the hurt bruises like a thorn embedded in my fingers...i dont care coz the beauty and smell exist as natural...that was your poem! Unwritten Soul
Ah yes, to really enjoy the Rose one must endure the thorn. As in life most things that are worthwhile carry a certain amount of risk. To truly experience the beauty we must take the chance of being dissappointed. But, what would life be like without the beauty? Well said, my friend....10. Thanks Richard
