Tender Thorn Wounds
Melting desire
inside the cornucopia
of flourished corneas
Black on black
smeared lipstick
in the shape of
a heart
Pulled teeth
and bitter roses
stapled to the vest
of mortuaries
Sweet pain
makes for
the best
company
When Love is a Rose
Push the barriers
To the next phase
Of enlightenment
Love is a four
Letter word with
Thorns and a psychotic
Break in the middle
You can taste
The fresh blood
That trickles from
Your fingers
As you cling
To the last
Shreds of
the best feeling
you’ll probably
ever experience
