Like A Rose

Like A Rose

A Poem by Dr. S. D. Blankenship PhD., DDiv., MA.
"

A bloody egg yolk. A burnt hole spreading in a sheet. An enraged rose threatening to bloom. ~May Swenson.

"

 The passion there in your heart,



has forlornly torn us equally apart.



The caress of your body has come to pass,



like a child still in school during class.



Your kissing lips bring a cheerless embark,



like animals on a bronze in a park.



Your tender clear skin starts to blight,



just as the moon comes up by night.



Winter's here and you are not,



but Honey dear I haven't forgot.



Now until then I say farewell,



and tonight we will leave this Hell.



Like A Rose, in any season, I see you smile, of red,



eyes so true. I love you,



Now with this all said I will listen for you my dear,



I shall die with out you now so please take care.



Like A Rose.

Some of the 'like a rose' is unnecessary but yeah, it's a nice poem, and it rhymes too!

I like this, I agree about repeating "like a rose" but still the poem has a warmth that makes the reader feel it.
