Beautiful Mistake

To you, my chosen one

I endow my pristine love

To be artlessly uprooted

Blind eye turned as roots wilt

Folly unbeknownst above

you pluck my gorgeous petals

To you, my rose thorn

I let you tour tender terrain

Unfettered limbs paralyze as you harden

Inescapable reality I cannot fake or forsake

Furtively from inside

You strip me raw and are awed in this new garden

To you, my silent night

I freeze our fragrant midnight truth

In silhouettes of indecency

Withered roots beg for unscarred soil

Unabashed beneath the stars

You lulled me to complacency

To you, my hungry fire

I express humble desire

Divulging my innocence to wiser eyes

Stumbling steps over wet stones

Entrails left under waterfalls

Unlike your word, my grip does not betray my rise

To you, my beautiful mistake

I recoil from slithering slit tongues

Choked in hideous wrath of the cobra

Burdened beneath a behemoth

Drifting away from our quiet room

With stem and spine fissured, I root
