A baited trap of flowers

sorenbarrett

When I offered a bed of roses

I didn't mention the thorns

So now as my love dozes

comes the devil with his horns

 

Love has a bleeding heart

Angel trumpets intoxicating sleep

Forget me not, do not depart

Kiss me over the garden gate, if you wish me to keep

        'When I offered a bed of roses
        I didn't mention the thorns'
        these words hit home, dear Poet
        (I bought gardening gloves
        for my heart, but still
        it never seems to be enough
        to keep the shrapnel
        of belated regret from clustering
        my mind and stifling
        my lungs, capacity to hope...)
        whatever side of blame we seat
        we're each left contemplating
        our what if's..
