Rose
My eyes are searching for you,
my black petals caress your body,
my perfume impregnates
your senses,
my lips need you,
my mane seeks
your hands
despite the thorns you
know how to love me.
Beauty and Innocence
If beauty and innocence had a name,
I would write it on a newspaper
to spread the fame
of those dark small eyes
staring at me
when crossing the street.
