Rose Gardener&Cactus Bush

The rose grows in hands of the gardener- some souls make all shine

Rose Gardener and Cactus Bush

He grew roses
For the Emir's garden
Petals like red velvet
Leaves green as forest
Rivers of sweet scent
Overflowing from their hearts

They bloomed in vases
Of the royal court
Sweetened the lover's reprise .
Nestling in the damsel's hairdo

While garden lay barren
His hands bruised
From thorns left behind
Heart bleeding from emptiness

In arid sands
Amidst shrub of thorns
Battling the desert
Flowered a blossom

Bright dazzling yellow
Dripping sunlight from its petals
Drying his tears
Of heartache for lost roses

He brought her home
With her thorns
In a dainty pot
Shining brighter over finest china

And soon in pots
Flowered cactus in homes
The new rose
That he chose to grow
