In the Pen Volume 2: #25: Prickly

Ouch! 'Twas a rose's thorn
But lack, 'tis true beauty
Of red, of white, of golden yellow

Ouch! 'Twas another rose's thorn
Verily unto mine eyes I see new light
Of blue, of purple, of silky pink

Prick me upon my finger sweet rose
And I will match your red petals
With my flowing blood

However, I could never match
The beauty in your life
With the turmoil of my own

Perhaps I should ready my throne
