The Roses of My Heart
Upon which breezed the dusty mire
A dozen roses dry and athirst.
But one of the eleven remain ruby,
Autumn sun kissing its worst.
Arms down aside like broken wings,
I admire the reminder who stand strong.
Neither spell nor misfortune pertains upon them-
Still they toil and struggle to carry on.
Clouds so shallow and within my extend,
Bottle up the lavishing showers!
A hand to coop its drizzle and sleet-
Then to trickle the eleven flowers.
Still of all my heart- that one rose remain,
Yet I find thorns upon its shoot.
The rest of my life shall fail me,
So ‘tis why I so bold for truth.
Many find that rose unattractive,
When it's thorns are spied like gloom.
‘Tis forgot it was the thorns that spilled,
Eternal red blood on its bloom.
