PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today while strolling down the lane

I picked a tender rose

the yellow petals smelled so sweet

so it was this one I chose

Oh it had such a velvet touch

tho the thornes pricked from the start

It was like the love you gave to me

it pricked me thrugh my heart

I thought about this summer rose

as I placed it in the vase

to stand in beauty, just like you

to light this special place

Your love was like this rose, my dear

with such a tender touch

then your thorns began to stick

and you hurt me oh so much

My heart was like this rose bud

and you were the one I chose

but like the flower, love wilted soon

like the petals of this rose

You lied and cheated all the while

you said your love was true

and when another came along

you said that we were through

So beware my friends, of pure sweet love

for it hurts so if you lose

so take a tip from me today

beware the one you choose

So guard your heart against the pain

for you'll have hurt and woe's

It will take you down, where's sorrows found

and prick you like the rose
