In The Mind Of A Rose

Just something that clicked in my head.

Captured in the complexity

And yet simple wonderment

Of dark and light

Where imagination's lightbulb

Gains the power of life.

 

God's graces for beauty and life

Surround her aurora of lust and love

Sorrow and becomes a wandering soul

Searching for the same meaning

Crossing paths with the voices in the winds.

 

The skies open up above her

Unafraid of death that lurks

Within the shadows of her past

And daily life, but never afraid

In the search for destiny and fate.

 

Twisted and swirling

Crimson gashes in her soul

The scars that will never fade

In the deadly silence of 'nothing left of me'

As her past causes her to fall to pieces.

 

She collects the delicate shards of herself

And moves forward without hesitation

With the burning thoughts of want

Holding close to her imagination and muses

That willfully stay within her reach.

 

Though her prickly thorns will never cease

To jab at her will and heart

She grows stronger as days progress

And ever more beautiful is her soul

All in the mind of a rose.

I like the story in the poem. We learn by mistake and pain. The description allowed the reader to feel the journey. A very good ending to a outstanding poem.

"Though her prickly thorns will never cease
To jab at her will and heart
She grows stronger as days progress
And ever more beautiful is her soul
All in the mind of a rose."

I love this last stanza. It definitely sums of this piece perfectly. Comparison to a rose gives delicacy to the piece, which I love. You have a great way with words.

Something wonderful clicked in your head with this one. I like to compare myself to a rose and the metaphors you used here are exquisite in describing this.

Amazing poem. Beautiful use of imagery and metaphor. Life pricks us with the sharpest thorns on and off but the winner is the one who "grows stronger as days progress. :)
