Rose

About a rose

Crimson red as deep as blood,

Deep color overflowing like a flood,

Flowing over delicate petals of a rose,

As night falls and it begins to close.

 

Thorns as sharp a knife,

Protect the delicate flower's life,

Without them they would all die,

As though their existance was a lie.

 

This symbol of love and heartfelt feeling,

Can also give way to emotional healing,

When given by a lover or close friend,

You too can mend.

Aw I like this!
It almost has a dark feeling to the beginning. Probably the blood reference. But the end is so uplifting and hopeful. Great shift there in emotion! I doubt I could ever pull that off. =]
Personally, my favourite line was "as though their existance was a lie" Perfect way to say something completely different than everyone else! *applauds*

Wonderful job!
