Kiss from a rose

Kiss from a rose

A beauty which is growth,
Incased in the bread of soil,
A delicacy ode to sight,
Of which man were to spoil,

We coat each petal in demise,
Then paint it bloody red,
Add a thorn to the touch,
And from here this pain has spread,

A kiss from the rose,
White for their death,
Red for the Valentine,
And pink for her first breath,

Although the pity has been bought,
The heart was not to sell,
Is this all that life has brought?
In the circles of this hell,

Damn the man in tie and suit,
Banish those to fake,
Exile to the women bare,
As the Earth begins to quake,

How do the leaves fall?
Into their shades of red,
The soldiers evicted there to die,
With each shade that they have bled,

Goodnight to the stars,
As the morn stats to wake,
I send my prayers every night,
So my spirits never brake.
