A rose

December 30, 2015HeavyCloud

A rose among the roses
A star among the stars
Shiny red velvet gem
And ointment to my scars

Our fall became a winter
And hearts heavy like gold
Your skin as thick as bark
My eyes cheeky and cold

Sour drops to a thirsty soul
And sharp and shining blade
Caught in the light of doom
A sight that will not fade

You, rose among the roses
The hand I will not hold
You, dream among my dreams
Those dreams you won’t unfold.

Only a rose in distance, nothing more.

        I’m reading Man in the Iron Mask in both English and French, so I’m in the mood, if you know what I mean. Happy almost New Year, sweetie pie. xo
