The Cutting of the Rose Though you talk to me with sweetness on your breath and in your heart, My body will not rise to feel your meaning in whole, or in part. I am a woman without a doubt my servitude is the measure, Your expectant stance and countenance is but my single pleasure. You will never have to worry, my love If I shall ever stray, For the offending thorn of my desire has been sharply cut away. Tuned and pruned to suit my groom I am the comely bride, Submitting to my husband�s will without desire but with pride. I am free from worldly sins for the path I chose, May Allah bless the garden keepers for the cutting of the rose. by Jessica Holter, Founder, The Punany poets  | ||
