Night Time Valentine

Planted in my angel’s heart
A rosebush she’s been tending for me
I can almost see and smell
 
She says because I dug the hole
She had the perfect flower for it
Drop by drop her blood would fill
 
Long nights she’d sharpen
With singing rasp
Its thousand thorns
 
And water it with light
Carried from some distant well
Until the leaves were born
 
How could some petaled thing
Not long to bloom
May it be soon
