Rose Water Tears.
Chaotic roses,
young girls plucked
from the bloom
of their youth,
by lustful fingers
despicable men
making a vase of them,
for their thick
fleshy stems,
each thrusting
deeply and
planting seeds
that bear sorrow.
Lovely roses that
hold more thorns
then budding beauty,
pink petals
separated by force,
scattered in red drops,
on the back
seats of cars
and in dark alleys.
Now they sit
in dark rooms
dew drops of tears
on their fragile satin skin
shuddering from
what arose,
and deflowered them,
decorating the
blank blah
of the many homes
for unwed mothers,
they bear the
next tiny bloom
soon to spring
from their
innocence denied
and pierce their hearts
with the many
thorns of holding
unwanted children.
