Creosote Rose


















Eye of beauty, you help me see.
Darkness and color,
blended together beautifully.
Tar, black, like witch's eyes.
Petals, soft, like baby's cries.
I witness this tenderness,
often discarded like yesterdays trash.
Lie here together, beauty everlast.
A somber moment as I reflect,
on whispered thoughts and new respect.
