The rose that struck me with its thorn, <br />Stung me deep, and red adorned <br />My sky of unrequited battle spree <br />And sleeves of consolation torn. <br />Save me from these words of love <br />That will reach you never, <br />These rose thorns I am dreaming of, <br />As hardened heart is mine forever. <br />Forgive me, having sought your way, <br />For me to cry in words I say. <br />Rose thorns nevermore excite, <br />Stung me deep, in deepest nights. <br />She collided, and her thorn <br />Had my heart in red adorned.<br /><br />Sammy Edrisi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rose-thorns/
