This is very powerful - like a warning and a cry for help at the same time; and yes - another one for the Collection...

I'm thinking now of that bag of Quikcrete, intended to be poured
into sidewalk cracks in small liquid doses, now hardened by humidity into a useless block.

Those are beautiful flowers there...One can feel the isolation between the two, especially with the symbolism of the "ice world of her window."

Re: UKUSA
Well dear you have a way of blessing most things. Yes we are all subject to fear at times and then hopefully the cry for help is heard.

Re:
Thank you Taps. It was only a poem, there is a little devil in us all.

Re: adnohr
The trouble is adnohr everyone tries to please so damned hard and it becomes a shock when either one does not want to any longer. Years ago it was no different only a married couple could not afford to part company, they rowed and sulked but eventually settled some into a miserable existence or just apathy.Or even an understanding that both could do what they wished. Of course some found Heaven or comfort in their spouse.

Re: Ciel.
Yes my brother sighed in disgust but it was the nearest thing I could see and they were pricking my fingers.

Re: RPresta
Thank you RP . Lucky In had the roses then. Incidentally I have bags of cranberries some are covered in chocolate. I suppose I could use the plain ones for sauce as I don't care for them in the present state, I kept buying them because they were half price, just of amusement really.

Very pretty flowers! The poem makes me think about a relationship going cold and sour as a couple gets old; two people who never should have been together in the first place, although there were tender moments along the way....

Re: shamasehar
The rose tree has survived against all odds it was a tiny thing in a pot I thought it was dying and just pushed it into an odd corner. I will look after it better from now on. Thank you.

Re: Shobana
Thank you I know the rose's beauty is transient, but so are many pleasures.

I loved the roses CC and the poem had a mastery to it. Well done because in its abrasiveness you captured a little of the gentleness.

Beautifu, gentle-looking roses that provide a perfect counterpoint to your poem. Well done, indeed.

In spite of ourselves, we love things & people who rust! Powerful poem
- introduced with a soft gift of roses. Thanks CCT. Hard, formal upbringing, or betrayal in one's formative years, will turn our insides into hard cement. God's handiwork will assert itself, if given a chance through (either GENERAL revelation, or Special revelation). ShalomShalom for that Peace where fear is killed! Dead!! agape
