"Heart Broken."
A rose can be the sweetest thing,
But mind the thorn in early spring.
Once I loved and I was glad,
Yet sad days now since I've had.
Thorn deep sharp like an arrow head,
Stopped my heart like stone was dead.
Never trust a thing so pretty,
It may wither in a winter city.

Poetry: Roses
by Alvaro Ramos
I walked not through a garden,
but I came upon a rose.
It dealt a blow so swift and sweet,
that still its impact grows.
The Un red Rose
In the 9th year it was the dawn of days,
there was a rose with no color no form.
It tried to grow in its own
- The Rose -
The rose blushed red beneath my tread
In upward gaze of sad decline.
Her twisted bush, with bleeding head
Exquisite
The Fair Rose
O rose, thy gorgeous fragrant smell
brings joy to those in whom it dwells.
Thy strong uniqueness and delicate
The flower of love that reigns supreme
In beauteous grace and glory
With every type and color scheme
The rose is commendatory
