Ode to Rose





Paternal beast rages, babe writhes under a dampened sheet
Words draw blood, hidden scars speak a whispered tale
Eggs shells bark underfoot, her fragile heart he doth assail
Festering sufferance of damnation, self-love cowers in defeat

Emancipation a beck and call, her savior upon a white steed
Freedom recedes like fog, her father's scion did she marry
Trapped in the viper's pit, vitriol fangs Rose must parry
Violent tongue deflates spirit, battered spine a fragile reed

Courageous dragon, last firesome breath melts golden bands 
Porcelain shards gathered, self-esteem a ghost to capture
Years steadfastly knit her autumn, spirit mends the fracture
Seeds of Rose resewn, velvet petals caressed by silken hands

Life flourishes upon the vine, a seasonal play nurtures her soul 
Floret bursts vibrant joyful tears, the morning dew welcome
Butterfly released by a peaceful heart, perfect the outcome
Head resting upon lily-white sheets, Rose's heart finally whole

Empty chalice greets new dawn, spirit shimmers resplendent 
Man of gilded armor tendered, her champion she does find
Golden rays colour the garden eternal, Rose's spirit refined
Death holds out a withered hand, self-love glows evident
