Bleeding With Love

by Biscuit   Dec 9, 2005


A wilting rose.
A lost love.
Neglected and fallen,
crumpling, dieing;
waiting to be rescued.

Before the last petal falls,
A star is born

The rose is nurtured,
by whispered words of kindness.
Flattering and powerful,
strength, support.
A beautiful breath is shared.

As the flower grows,
delicate buds are formed.

The rhythmic beating heart awakens.
The pulse races.
Deep red petals spill
from the eye of the rose.
Fulfilled. Reformed. Reborn.

Bleeding with love.

    Nice sentiment.

    The only thing I would suggest here is making the third stanza stand out more by chaning the punctuation.

    The rose is nurtured,
    by whispered words of kindness.
    Flattering and powerful.
    Strength. Support:
    A beautiful breath is shared.

    I read this stanza and thought this needs more strength, then I was pleasantly surprised to see you had gone on to do it in the last stanza.

    This is pleasing to see. You done got talent!

    "Before the last petal falls,

    Wow that reminded me of a song I know
    I love the word "rhythmic" such a wonderful word, and the idea again is original, your head must be overflowing with imagintion

    I think the whole "rose" compared with love thing, especially in poetry, is too overdone and cliche.

    however, your last couple of verses:

    The rhythmic beating heart awakens.
    The pulse races.
    Deep red petals spill
    from the eye of the rose.
    Fulfilled. Reformed. Reborn.

    -these lines eliminated my judgment toward the topic you chose to write about. you presented the rose/love comparison very well, and i applaud this piece.

    well written.
