Swirl of Life

by deborah-t-johnson

Life is a strange swirl Dark red roses Buried in your soul I look out and hide Sunlight the cold intruder The mix of fantasy and future Caught up in the whim Of a man. You convinced yourself No this is not what I want No I do not want to care No I do not like this feeling Of want. Blood red roses you see in my eyes Darkness without depth You seem to feel in my core Am I capable of Love Am I malcontent with Love These are the things you say These are the things you ask As a man How do I convince you Yes this is what you want Yes this is what you care for I am the feeling Of want The swirl of the rhythm of life Mixes its purity in the dirt Where the deep colored roses Strike out their hue of red There's not much intrigue in hope No hidden secrets agendas Just the opening and closing of my heart Trusting the man. Life is a strange swirl Caught up in splendors And the whim of a man.
