Scarlet Rose

The scarlet rose,
upon the vase,
bending down from waters waste,
gasping for sunshine,
the night delays,
matches the stars and crys over rain,
longs for the clouds,
that hide the suns pain,
wilted roses,
dont want to end,
spinning with joy,
upon the great winds,
jumping with craze,
that came with a hurricane!

The heart of the hurricane

I love this. You compress so much meaning which is the essence of poetry. If I may interpet, forgive me if I get it completely wrong. Death by neglect is despair, risk of death may find the peace through conflict, going through the hurricane to the peace at its center. If I've missed the mark please tell me, perhaps I can help you express the real meaning of it. cheers, Jess Forever unwrapping the eternal present.

Yes I like

love the title it may have been Crimson Rose but Crimson is so over used imho. The personna is awesome ! The Beginning and end is a perfect match very very nice ANC. Awesome ! Mark Trust is a secret that never comes home.
