Wings of Rose Petals



Oh, Love,


I like to think that beauty outshines the madness -

that petals are more brilliant than thorns

could ever be potent.


Maybe that's how you've managed to keep me alive

for so long with nothing more than a glass jar,

a handful of dirt, some water, and a spoonful of lullabies

filled with nothing but the utmost adoration.


Oh, Love,


You truly are made of the sun's brilliance

to find me as radiant as this rose -

glorious, cheerful yellow


like your own rays dancing through the room

landing on every heart with the simplicity of

a butterfly's kiss, and the epitome

of hope needed now more than ever.
