[the poet]  the rose

You know that I adore you
But don't ask me why
I just do.


Could it be because?
You promised me,
Your beauty, your scent and your passion
But noble as it comes
Your intentions get caught
In your bud.
Not blooming, withering
Forgotten in time.


Or is it that?
My adoration
Stems from your pricky thorns
Which cuts me in places
Leaving me to bleed
But with the pain,
I become accustomed,
Oblivious, even numbed
Blinded as I am,
By your crimson darkness
Complementing mine.


Or could it be because of?
Bees that flock to you
Wanting to taste
That golden sweet nectarine
But your honey remains
Unreachable to me,
Distant even
So that my thirst
Remains unquenchable
Ad infinitum.


You know that I adore you
But it's not only because you are beautiful
So why?
I know not.
I am not the wiser.
To the mysteries of the heart.
he loves me not
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
ain't no sunshine when he's gone
he loves me
or does he loves me not??
he loves me
