Blood Rose

The thorn of a rose pierces the sun and draws the blood of distant dusk

Air laden with its fragrant musk

And its pinched petals, flourish crimson red with a new freshness

As rings of fire unwind towards the new day

In a windowsill a young maiden sits, watching the moon sink slowly

She sees the rose and watches it blossom as the sun rises

And she smiles

For it was just like her, only yesterday she was but a little girl

And one small thing differential had made her a woman

Just like the rose she was a bud

But now she had blossomed with all of her petals and thorns
