Sad Love Poems and Poetry

Sad Love Poems and Poetry:

The Rose of Pain...

A beautiful rose with thorns

it pricks

it stabs

it bleeds.

How could something so

Beautiful

hurt me?

How do pain and beauty

exist together?

Oh Beautiful Rose

be careful not to stab the one you love

Withdraw your painful thorns

Cut them off if you must

Let your fragrance and beauty be stronger

than the bite of your needles.

Oh precious rose, precious mate

Prune me if you must

but be kind

For I am a thorn less rose,

and cannot prick back

but only die in my pain.

Rock Memorabilia - Vintage Rock Posters

Funny how if you hold onto things long enough they usually end up being valuable - and rock and roll memorabilia and vintage rock posters are no different. I have a few pieces of prized rock and roll items in my possession- A Beatles concert program from a 60's concert in San Francisco -and an old Santana poster from the 70's that fared in far worse shape thanks to being plastered on my garage wall. My brother, 10 years older than me (lucky dog) was the one that brought that Beatles program home to me one night after the concert, along with a big Beatles poster (which unfortunately I don't have anymore, sure wish I did!)
