Wild roses

free verse

 

 

Praying for a wild horse

Red blood roses 

 

taking over this girl's mind

 

living in a world so angry

leaving a blood red rose

no where to survive

 

praying with hands folded

no angels by her side

 

Please God send a wild horse

for this wild rose to ride.

 

higher higher higher

 

oblivion

 

no one tends the wild horse or

the wild rose so fragile.

 

from heaven

above

blood red petals

fall one by one.

Very touching, makes me think of my sister.

[Buddy]

There is a wild untended Mustang galloping down a path of blood red petals, his lungs burning, hot breath blowing, neighing your name, needing your touch, needing tending and riding by a Wild Red Rose.

I like your poem :) I look for more ;)
