Poem -
YELLOW COLOURED BLUES
the rose is blood redÂ
which is fitting
nourished in earthÂ
where small hearts
are still dripping
a sparrow a robinÂ
a mouseÂ
and two voles
placed there in love
in bleak cold tiny holes
though the rose is not cruel
a rose is just rose
but it hangs it's head heavy
for the rose too
it knows
that flowers will fall
that all green
turns to brown
and I marvel at beautyÂ
through the tears of a frown
and i ask of the rose
to tell me what gain
when beauty is suffering
just a mask
for the pain
but the rose cannot answer
just a rose through and through
so forever my yellows
are stainedÂ
with dark blue ~

Thankyou so much Gwen?
This one deserves pinning! On the surface a poem about a rose being a rose but peel it back and it is a very deep poem. Brilliantly written x
