Left Among the Thorns (Etheree)

by HOLLY ARMER   Feb 16, 2006


Hope
falters
gracefully
from within as
I watch love bloom like
a crimson rose between
my heart's desire and the
beholder of evil engaged
in a rhapsody of bliss while I'm
left among the thorns of what could've been

* This is my first attempt at writing this style.
**Etheree~
Consists of 10 lines of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 syllables.
