The Wild Rose

by Meeco Pacampara Campo
(Cebu City, Philippines)

You are a rose…
yet your thorns
are as soft
as your heart…
I wonder if you’ll
ever cause one
heart to bleed?
Because even
an angel flying
would dare abandon
his wings…
just to touch, to hold
and to keep…
your love meant
to bloom
beautifully
like a rose!
