Blank verse

By MeeSoh Bossard


We know that things are never what they seem

Take you, take me; observe the flaming rose

Reach out to take her: beauty, when you see

And know upon the edge of which you stand:


Be it may a curse on which men lie

Temptation was not without its own flaw

To warn you, warn me of repeating allure

The rose too has a coat of blood dipped thorns


Perfect, pleated, pressured, and preserved

Yes sir, you too may keep a part love

In its light of unperfected trust

One sided attraction is all that ever was

  1. In the first stanza, the word "you" is used a few times, and I think it's meaning has changed. (Talk to me about this in class).
