Roses and Thorns

Noted Nest

By Anushmita Ghatak



A humble rose put forth

caged with the thorns,

Blooming beauty with all its flaws

green crooked straws

that thrums fearfully in my heart.

Now I stand alone


hidden thorns through partial acceptance,

Dark shadows intertwining

like a maze,

creepy,

half seen with stillness;

Hold me in your hands

let my petal caress,

with trembling hands...

accept my thorns...

inhale my scent...

perceive my painful sentiment...

the love with all my revenge;

Twisted words claw way into my head

seeds are special, growing thorns instead of roses,

Stinging you with tiny drops of blood

Come! taste it, and we will be done.
