Poem -
THORNY KISSES
I CLOSED MY EYESÂ
TO KISS A ROSE,
UNAWARE OF THE THORNSÂ
HIDDEN BEHIND ITS PETALS.Â
NO IMMEDIATE PAIN WERE FELT,
AS THE SPLINTERS GOT LOST
BENEATH MY INFATUATIONÂ
AND HAUNTING DESIREÂ
FOR HER TOUCH.
BEFORE THE SUN FADE AWAYÂ
INTO THE CLOKE OF THE NIGHT SKY,
HER POISON HAD REACHED MY HEARTÂ
LEAVING ME PARALYZEDÂ
BY HER THORNY KISSES.
WILFORD BARKER.
