The Rose ( inspired by Val)

bitting thorns
piercing flesh

blood clings to the vine

intoxicating fragrance
dulling the senses

blinding minds
ghostly images dance through shadows folly
focus lost

cold calloused hands
warmed

with velvet touch
caressing scars of old

sensations cascade upon flesh
as all thought falls away

peace to be found in a flower

Beautiful. Utterly wondrous and eloquent. Something about the simplicity of your writing makes it all that more effective; every line can be drawn in from some wonderful ether. *smiles* Exceptional. - Rose
