Headless Rose

ever since you
have arrived
there have been
no satin blooms
but scratches
to tear my skin
and nurturing dew
to fall as tears
I find you are
a headless rose
yet, you have a
true chameleon color
a Jacob’s coat
to change
with mood
honestly
I don’t want
to listen
to words my heart
wants to hear
unattached words
fall to rock
without truth
and die alone
in the garden
there can be
such a sweet
and inviting fragrance
but not where
you are creeping
