My Rose

put a million miles between me and my rose
shoes worn away from the journey
i will arrive with toes calloused
feet stained in earth
and legs swollen
 
between me and my rose
you can light a thousand fires
and i will look upon the petals with eyes black from ash
touch the thorns with fingertips of melted skin
breath deep its floral fragrance
through nostrils clouded in smoke
 
stand a hundred soldiers between me and my rose
and from a man of pacifism will rise
the fight of endless armies
awakened warrior with fists
clenched tightly
jaw
clenched tightly
and a heart like a tank
that will plow over whatever
stands in the way
