LIFE'S JUST A BED OF ROSES

open your eyes and you shall see
how red a lucious rose can be.
beautiful, tempting, glaring, daring
a significant natural beauty signing.

Rose, smell so sweet
Rose, colour so treat
pretty, yet deceiving
soft, yet spearing

life's a bed of roses
people say, how nice that is, no woos or woes,
but what do they know about a bed of roses,
if they don't dig beneath the surface
they are yet to find the true meaning of lifeless rose.

what are the thorns beneath the surface
which cut the skin of those of heartless
or those who care to never be careful
life cuts their hearts like tiny spears

kills it shall not,
just cause pain,
truth to be said
every good has its price
never underestimate the meaning
of a bed of red roses.
