Petals.

from the memory box. Incomplete

in a time when any rose might smell the same,

mine reek of my blood, my sweat, my tears..The perfect ingredients. 

funny how commoners mistake Love for an ingredient..

while in fact, Love is nothing but another petal around that rose..

there..along with honesty..support..attention..trust..connection..intimacy...Loyalty..& then some..

..as for the thorns..i choose to believe that the bigger the thorn, the stronger the rose...

..& we're done here.

I really like how you said the bigger the thorn the stronger the rose. I have never looked at it like that. I really quite like your writing.

a smart use of metaphor, a new and different way of imagining what a rose can be, thanks for sharing.

I interpreted that all of the petals on the rose were used as a metaphor for what makes us up as a whole. What was your intention??
