Rose

Here I sit,

staring upon

an ocean

of crumbling metal,

burning civilisation.


The rose 

is felt,

burying itself,

in my warmth,

feeding on my blood.


The screams,

I cannot hear,

but I imagine them

scouring my ears,

ships escape,

ships destroy,

beautiful,

carnage,

upon a canvas.


The grass,

it tries 

to whisper

my thoughts away,

those red petals

searching my brain,

counting my thoughts,

the interwoven strands.


I am safe,

upon natures hand,

away from man,

but I am captive,

held hostage

to this rose,

to its vines,

as man destroys

itself in its metal prison,

mans own creation.
