The Roses of Paradise
 This is a poem I wrote when I was 15. I have all the poems I wrote in two diaries. I dunno why I stopped but I did, when I was in college. Probably not a choice. :P       As I walked down the highway   I saw a rose peeking out of a barrier fence   And as I picked it up   I realised it was black     As I held the flower   And smelled its fragrance   I got pierced by its thorns   And blood oozed out of the wound     As I looked at the red fluid   I remembered the unhappy time   It all came back to me   And I cried with all my might     But then I heard a tinkle of voices   Not far from where I was standing   I saw this place, its colour was red   And realised it was roses     I head near it   And saw the sparkling leaves   Nearer and nearer I came   And the brightness of it enamoured like diamonds     As I draw into a halt   I saw my name etched in one of the flowers   And then I realised   I was one of the roses of paradise     It's not the best. I was 15. lol I should have edited ...
