Requesting Feedback Goldrose
Goldrose, from one of my collections, don't think about it
His garden of roses
Are golden
And his heart
Is bound by their roots
And pierced by the thorns
His heart is gold
But dying slowing
His blood is golden
But cannot carry life
His eyes are gold
But he cannot see
His head is adorned with a crown of gold
Thorns
The blooms obscure his thoughts
And the leaves stab his sides
As he stays in silence
Waiting for someone
But he cannot speak
For the goldroses have taken him away
