The Rose

By hopeless

My heart as though an unnoticed rose
floating upon leaves of emerald green passion
invisioned upon the dullest thorns to hide my beauty

Crimson lace graces the purity of love upon cheeks
so pure as is seen upon the palest tinted skin
within eyes of brown desire

An echo upon the mountains of green trees
containing everflowing emotions
wandering through the roots
only to feed what is not there

To watch within mine eyes
is to notice the things un cared for
as though this crystal heart
knows not of the words you speek
the simple expressionless stares
burning through the canopy of life

Trailing within a tatterd heart
is love so lost upon the chaos of
a life within
this once destroyed soul
waiting so solemnly for the chance
to express what i know that you dont

And through these waters my life does flow
from me as ive tried
so helplessly to profess my dulling pain behind
this mask of the purest beauty

    A vision of romanticism, that beauty tinged with sorrow deal that plays the heart strings like a violin...A rose by any other name...

    WOW, this just completely blew me out of my seat. The imagery, the descriptions, the sorrow, everything about it I just really enjoyed. Your a very gifted and talented writer.
