Love Poem: Bleeding Love

Bleeding Love


Where roses bloom
  and love is found
there my heart
     is lost
Their musky scent 
       pervades
my open soul
   to heights of joy
and pleasure
          But thorns
    crush
the hands 
that are bitter and
        filled with envy
    anger
and hatred

      Let our love
be like roses
   without thorns
to prick 
          May our scent
spread far and wide
     touching lives
changing hearts
            and blooming
in other souls
      encouraging them
to shine bright
             like the crimson
       of a rose
bleeding true love
   being what it is
