A rose made of blood <br />where the thorn cruelly cuts me <br />blossoms in my palm. <br />I, a rose...made of flesh...blood <br />rivalling thorn's red flower. <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />Thorn bleeds with my blood <br />pouring red into white rose <br />my humanity <br />unable to change Nature's <br />design - white rose remain...white. <br /> <br /> <br />****** <br /> <br />I received the tangled hair...it is beautiful...thank you.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/red-rose-white-rose-thank-you-tankas-for-onelia/
