I AM A ROSE….


I was a bud
Ready to blossom
Unfurling to the world
Innocent and naïve
Pleasure was mine
To give and receive

Then one day
Along came my love
Your touch,
Your gentle hands
Sent me on a pirouette
I bloomed
In all my glory and splendor
Crimson intensified…
I shimmered and swayed
To your every move
I was the rose
Whole and complete
You were mine
The world was mine

Till a day came
You let go…
As I fell from my heaven
To become one with
The dust
I withered and shrunk
My petals, my pride
Faded and crumbled
My cries lost in the wind
I lay there in my agony
Hoping and wishing
To be scooped again
In arms gentle and warm
To be born again
And fulfill my destiny

    Aaahh the pain of the one we love letting go... The pain we feel while we wait for their arms to scoop us up again...

    Beautiful ... sad ... and very close to home

    You have given a new dimension altogether with this beautiful post...you will find a way,and I know it will happen soon,you deserve much more and I guess letting go is the only way out here,no matter how much it hurts.

    Sweet Rimly, loves' thorns have made you bleed. That's the thing about roses, they have so many thorns, yet who can resist the urge to pick that rose and hold it close.
    Your poem was powerful and splendid. I felt the prick and the blood running down my arm...but it will never stop me from harvesting roses <3

    Rimly...a beautiful metaphor...the bud of the rose...new love, the unfurling of the flower...discovery...doing the dance..petals turning to dust, the pain of love lost, pierced by the thorns of a stem and feeling alone on the wind...the petals must be shed to be born again...only then " I Am A Rose"....Perfect...

    Beautiful poem filled with love, heartbreak, and the desire to love again. Psssion like the rose withers but in time will bloom again. Love and pain go together and we can't have one without the other. Lovely words!!

    The Rose will bloom again, and fulfil its destiny, for not a single one dies without spreading it's fragrance, and be sure, the fragrance will give rise to love somewhere in this world :)

    Lovely poem :)
    Almost made me go into one of my rare romantic reveries, you know it's difficult to get me out of the dark ;) :D
