Roses are sweet
When they bloom
They bedazzle all
(Much like you.)
Beautiful and bright
Colorful and lovely
They always steal
The spotlight
(And so do you.)
But hidden under
The vivid petals
That guard them
So well
(Oh, so well.)
There are thorns
That long
To do harm
To leave scars
(As you do.)
But these thorns
Are hidden so well
It’s not until
It’s too late
That we see
the truth
(As I now know
All thanks
To you.)
When I first started reading this poem I thought it would be all sugar, but I like the sour twist at the end. I sometimes feel that way with people too. It's only too late that I see who they really are (of course I don't think that way about you). I really liked this piece and I think (if you wanted to) it would be a great piece to publish. (As would, now that I think about it, the rest of your pieces). You are a fantastic writer and I admire your talent.
