Afrodita Alkline - Rose, Rose

Once upon a time a child was born, <br />A girl-so shy-with flowers adorned <br />Named as the Rose, to match her red lips <br />Destined to be loved, with goddess like hips <br />Rose, Rose- the world would call her <br />Rose, Rose- the ocean’s waves would slur <br />Such a girl was destined for happiness <br />Such a girl filled with radiant holiness <br /> <br />Yet, life has a way of showing the truth <br />Her life changed as she stepped out of youth <br />Rose wasn’t happy. Not always as she was said to be <br />Rose didn’t understand the body she was given to be <br />She was blessed, of course, by the admiration of many males <br />Yet beneath her, unfolding like a flower-slowly- a hidden ail <br />The site of a fair goddess, she was to Rose, by the name of May <br />Made her question her own being, question the birth of her day <br /> <br />Crying from nights to days, her heart ached for the fair May. <br />With rage and yearning she cut her golden locks away. <br />In shock, her family turned away, hiding their eyes from site <br />No longer did they know the Rose they gave the world and light <br />And Rose heartbroken, fled from their life. Hoping May would love her now. <br /> <br />Rose, Rose, who know one knows <br />Rose, Rose, who fled with the wind that blows <br />A girl-so shy-destined for love, <br />Yet, love was not in her stars above <br />Rose, Rose, who lays with Earth <br />Never attained her love promised since birth.<br /><br />Afrodita Alkline<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rose-rose-2/
