The poem that inspired the title of this book: Tears of the Rose

A rose
Is a prickly thing
Armed with barbed thorns
Stinging like thousands of merciless
Bees that hover protectively
Over their prize.

Roses are arrogant too
Blooming lushly a royal red
Soft petals begging to be touched
Beauty lures the naive into a trap
And the gullible pull away
With a bleeding finger
Red like the rose

Yet this cunning flower weeps
Petals, falling like leaves
Red tears sweeping the ground
It curls into itself
Curved claws clutching
A shell of its former beauty

It weeps for love
For those who see it do not love
But are infatuated 
Poisoned scent of honey
Only lure victims into a trap
Of their own making

The poor rose
It never meant to make thee
And all the other broken hearted
Lovers so downcast

Yet now it continues to weep
Falling petals
Tears of the Rose
Scattering carelessly
On the ground

The red withers into black
No more shall beauty deceive
But now all shall see it true
Beauty in its purest form: decay

My Poetry, the art form of the soul, is an exquisite tapestry of language that weaves together emotions, thoughts, and experiences with skillful craftsmanship. It is a captivating expression of the human spirit, transcending time and culture, to touch the hearts and minds of readers throughout generations. At its essence, poetry is a dance of words that elevates ordinary language to extraordinary heights. Each poem is a carefully chosen arrangement of words, rhythm, and sound, forming a symphony that resonates within the reader's soul. With brevity and precision, poetry captures the depth of human emotions, painting vivid pictures with metaphors and similes that evoke powerful imagery. Poetry celebrates the beauty of language itself, as poets play with the melody of words, the interplay of sounds, and the cadence of lines. Through rhyme, alliteration, and repetition, poems become a melody for the mind, etching their verses into memory. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, poetry is a vessel for self-expression and introspection. Poets lay bare their innermost thoughts and feelings, exploring the complexities of the human condition. Whether it's love, heartbreak, joy, sorrow, hope, or despair, poetry offers an emotional sanctuary for both the poet and the reader. In its various forms and styles, poetry showcases the boundless creativity of the human mind. From structured forms like sonnets and haikus to free verse that flows unbridled, each style carries its unique allure, giving poets the freedom to experiment with different techniques and tones. Poetry is an open invitation to interpretation and personal connection. The meaning of a poem may vary from person to person, allowing readers to bring their own experiences and emotions into the verses. This openness ensures that poetry remains relevant and relatable, touching hearts across cultures and time.
