crimson velvet petals
birthed from a thorny vein
only one request they’re fulfilling
for love, who’s done with emotional pain
my heart is deep enough to hold you
each piece of you, misunderstood
don’t fear what you don’t know
agree to become what never could

Oh Audrey, this one is just beautiful. It speaks to me of beauty being found in the midst of pain, a fear to open up, and then understanding the need to accept and be willing to open up.
Love it.

That was an awesome poem! And a lovely picture. The rose looks upset.

Thanks, Duke. The picture was played with a bit. I don’t think I’ll bother with it again. Upset? No, just longing.

No! I love how you played with it. It’s Sleeping Beauty’s Rose, I think. You should do it more often.

You do? Thanks, but…okay. Sleeping Beauty’s rose pricked her, right? I will try.

Don’t stress about it. Just do it for fun. I’m sure you’ll do fine. Did it? Maybe you’re right. No, wait…wasn’t the Beast the one who had the rose?
