The most beautiful rose has thorns perhaps as a reminder <br />That thorns prick and fingers bleed <br />Drop by drop, dripping <br />You were like that rose: the most beautiful one <br />Entranced I caressed it's petals <br />In a trance I conjured up dreams <br /> <br />Drop by dropp by drop <br />I can paint the flower I cannot paint the pain <br />That's how it is <br />The very delight the sight the smell <br />Have contributed to this pain <br /> <br />Dew dropp by drop <br />Rain dripping dripping <br />Roses have thorns <br />And thorns have roses <br />And, when you walk on by <br />My fingers bleed dropp by drop <br />My heart, unseen, softly weeps <br />Drop by drop.<br /><br />Rani Turton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/drop-by-drop-2/
