thornless beauty

I am a rose without its thorns

naked 

and 

unsheathed 

behooved 

on 

frothed 

icy 

cold 

stares 

and 

evolved 

into 

a 

tulip 

gentle 

and 

sweet 

and 

plucked 

me 

from 

the 

garden 

and 

took 

his 

hands 

and 

shed

the 

thorns 

so 

he 

could 

finally 

wrap 

his 

arms 

around 

me 

with 

out 

drawing 

blood
