The Rose and The Thorns

by Sondos   Feb 10, 2006


His bright, blue eyes masked with tufts of hair
The colour of golden honey
His smile is brief yet calm
His presence is out of place
His wary gaze sup at our words
He is alone yet we surround him
Invisible, yet beautiful
A single rose wrapped in a web of thorns

The wait is over
We board the bus
And don't give him a second glance
Is he gone?
Is he still there?
His eyes pleaded jealous cries
We ignored in haste
The others laugh and joke
Yet my conscience weighs heavy and thick
The friendless boy stood alone
Whilst we suffocated him with
Pointless words of nothing

    You took a comment theme of roses and thorns while putting your own powerful twist to it. I have been continually amazed by your poetry and the way you write. I just love it! Wow, you have talent hunni, a kind I haven't seem before.
