He showed up with a stogie

Some bourbon and a rose

He looked quite the catch

This he knew, I suppose

So I poured him a drink

Helped him light his cigar

Took the rose from his hands

And left him a scar

From the thorns he forgot

To remove ‘fore he came

Now he’ll never forget me

My pleasure, his pain

Purity evolves

The grace of the innocent

Grows without sharp thorns

thorns-2013825_960_720
I am no sleeping beauty

My finger I will not prick

I’m looking for the light of God

To forget this darkness, thick

But the thorns do not allow me

To find that peaceful place

So I wander through the night

To find His sacred grace

Where I can lay my head, to rest

No spindles, to make me bleed

Just close my eyes, in solemn hope

And let my dreams concede
