Where Purple Roses Grow

Come walk with me in the garden
where purple roses grow.
I'll speak with you of things
the innocent do not know.
Come into the garden
take all that you desire
Beauty? Inspiration? The power to succeed?
Whatever takes you higher
I'll give you what you need.
What would you give to really live?
What would you pay to have your way?
In a moment of truth
pain and passion are born
__________________________What would you give
Unmatched beauty
with a deadly thorn
______________________________to really live?
The whole world can be yours
for a minimal price
__________________________What would you pay
You must decide now
if second best will suffice
______________________________to have your way?

What is the cost for all you adore?
Tilling the garden forever more.

beautifully written...

beautifully written... full of energy && although very symbolic-- easily understood by those that look between the words

This spoke, or should wake up the thoughts

It is very poetic and flows with a daring to find out what really is,
"is it all that we chose or try, really enough to live by."

*It's nice to give thought, to the thought of what made us first fall in love with poetry, and not to abuse it.
