Rose

Larry Groves

Rose
with these words
may I so compose
but not impose
any sadness on you

The morning seems blue
misgivings of thoughts
to construe
scattered emotions
scattered dreams
abandoned themes
and thoughts of you

You're such a pain
in the butt
and so am I
but you are my Rose
my beautiful Rose
I love your feet
I love your head
I love your toes
