Thorn

By RedRoseProse

8/27/06

An oasis drowning eternally

love so perfect and sweet

eyes more gleeful then frolicking youngsters

has everyone taken a chance

lusting at a teenage master

laughter at stolen promises

lover mistakens broken crosses

angels in black

hang till air lacks

tossing and turning

stagnently learning

life's lessons

it begins

I have eaten from the tree of life

I long to see what its like

to live with others in life

alike and opposite in choices of love

I choose mostly opposite in this fight

to love and be loved other then motherly

she enters slowly

two choices are laid out before me

a lover cloaked with charcoal clouds

loads of depression characterize this child

the other is simple, bright, and merry

majestically present is a sense of carring

the first is Rose, the second is Thorn

Roses outward beauty guides me to her

coldness followed by rejection

Thorn merrily takes me in

We hold hands loving each other

I kiss firmly grasping my lover

serenity follows and happiness ensues

I want more!

Rose strolls along

whispers a proposal

she longs to be with

I grab Rose's hand

say good-bye to Thorn

leaving her to cry

trying to get a kiss

Rose says shes finished

and walks away

I hurriedly rush back to comfort my true lover

Thorn waves and takes off with a more deserving

moral to this story

care for what is right

leave your heart unstained

and pick a Thorn
