WITHOUT PETALS
~~~To Be Unadorned or bare~~~
Like a lone rose left unattended in a garden; my beautiful petals were carried off by the scorn of the midday storm__ til only my thorns remained. Angered by the disarray of my form__ I found no love for my guardian, my caretaker, or the earth that be-roots me. For hours I laid barren and weak of spirit until man yielded unto my helplessness and sort after my estranged petals... For what is a rose without its' petals But an un-sightly thorny stem to give thee nay___ of its' sweetly scented touch I pray thee__ remember thee thus. If you pick a rose__ it is yours not only to keep, but to upkeep! Let not thy earthly concerns forfeit thee__ thine best of treasures...! {A woman is the rose of which you need not give} __________________________________ |
