~ Bleeding Rose

E.L. Bleeding Rose, Poetry

 

~ Bleeding Rose

 

I found out my heart was a Rose

Lonely and ruby red

Seasoned and transience

I had hurt myself with daily grief

With too much love,

And too much thought 

In my  too heavy head

But what other way could I go;

As I felt the pain of others

In a honest thousand ways,

I could be from stone

Rigid and cold with no heart;

But it would not be the way

I chose to love and 

To love profoundly;

I dwelled inside your pain 

Felt you through every bone,

But even as your pain was mine

I chose always to inner shine

 

~ Elisa Laura

Wearing that heart on our sleeves makes it so easy to damage, I think. But what is the other choice? To hide our hearts so they can never be touched? I think I would rather love too much than too little. I would rather feel too much than nothing at all.

This is a raw and honest piece of writing, my friend. Very fragile. I think there is a beauty to that. When we love openly and honestly, we can feel that other person as though it is ourselves. That is a bond that we never lose.

I can very much relate to this one. Definitely a favorite.

Mooi gezegd lieve schat. (Beautifully said sweet pea) see you made me write first in Dutch, only real friends can so... :) thank you for this utterly brilliant review. I treasure each part of you sis X

[CS]

So happy you're back too, even if it's for a little appearing, :) we know what really important is, in our quiet life form, You have a great afternoon sweet Courtney :) X

sometimes i have this problem also...too much empathy and i tend to dwell inside others' pain...not sure if that is such a bad thing though..i don't mind sharing the burden, it makes more tolerable to share.

i really like this poem

jacob

Exactly... I need to focus, on my own pain more (a good lesson)... for others, are also in their own pain, and less return the sentiment... but honestly, I'm not like that, selfish, and I will never be~ lol, dilemma... ? thank you so much for your words friend. So appreciated.

[Dr. Wood ?]

A very delicate and quite beautiful write....I have to say however that there is no such word as choosed...it should be CHOSE.....AND you would have TOO MUCH THOUGHT..not...THOUGHTS..either that or too MANY THOUGHTS/////

Still a great poem though

Thanks as always Dr. Wood, for helping me out on the grammar, sometimes I write without rules, truly from the heart. Then the pen speaks, I will check my errors. :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

glad to be of some help.....I understand that the flow often outweighs all

Yes, and being Dutch too, we have such a quirky language ourself, it's often I speak NetherEnglish, so interwoven in my genes it is... I'm really thankful, to you and for example sir. jacob.

[Dr. Wood ?]

If you speak 2 languages I am in awe...

I speak more... (not to be arrogant)... one day you will find out. :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

merci

A rose is fragile, handle it gently and it will bloom within your life always. Very nicely written Elisa, very beautiful.

So true Jack, ah, you can see beyond words :) makes me smile...
I will be back for your inspiring writes in a while...:D

Artwork and the poem was amazing. Always better to choose love and know pain. I like the video. Gave strength to the poetry. I like the use of the rose. Thank you form the outstanding poem.

Thank you so much sweet friend. It is so true what you say. Love is knowing pain.

[Not Your Typical New Yo..]

Deep and touching at the same time. If you fell in love, chances are that you know when your partner is in pain, and you sense his pain, and then before you know it, you're hurt as well. You did wondeful with this poem, dear Elisa.

Thank you so much, yes, I think when two love that deep, they can merge as two into one, and become eachothers pain... thank you for your beautiful thoughts Greg! xx

[Frieda P]

You are a tonic, this is enchanting. I can't say more.

Thank you sweet Frieda xx :)

Aw, that means a lot to me, thank you for seeing all this in me, as I do in you too!
I'm so glad we have met across here, and with our way of thinking! x

[Pax]

Such beauty in words... i felt the sadness of what you also felt for yourself and the people around you...

Even as your pain was mine
I choosed always to inner shine

~ a sensitive soul who choose to shine, positivism in hardship... like what i do... we choose this because we live life to the fullest no matter what... it just what it is... Life is Life...
Ver expressive my dear friend.

Thank you dear wonderful words x

[Pax]
