a rose coloured poem

Filed under: coloured poems, poetry, louis roux — ABRAXAS @ 8:03 pm

i wanted to give you a rose today
but i clasped the thorny stalk so hard
my hands started to bleed
and the stalk broke
and the petals rotted as they hit the ground
and the scent wafted away
and all i have left
are the thorns in my flesh
