A Delicate Rose
A Delicate Rose
She was planted in a garden that arises calamity
Where eradicating its flowers serves as its epitome
Her beauty is captured even before her bloom
She lessens the cruelty that craves to gain its doom
The delicate flower is amongst those of a reputed nature
Differing from those being derived by a greedy gesture
She contrasts the obvious, continuing to assemble her soil to blossom
Sustaining her broken fragments by resisting words of loathsome
To extend her stem she prepares for the sadness of rain
For rain foreshadows the scenes of pain she continues not to claim
Realizing the touch of rain would help her grow to triumphant levels
Still affirming love for those who would endure the falling of her petals
Her sight became adapted to grievous neighbors residing only in greed
Who failed to distinguish between a want and a need
Her prickling thorns would convey her fragility of sight
She would mature from water and mature from sunlight
Her maturity will mirror her prudence and display her beauty
Her elegance is resisted by no one, all praises her purity
Growing past the roots of turmoil where the greenery is bestowed
She ascends from the ground into a red delicate rose.
