The one who steals the rose in your garden,
Also steals the thorns.

Creative and inspirational writer and poet, I lam also an addictive reader of novels, poetry and children story books. I am the author of Soul Poetry a book of inspirational poems, verses and quotes (2015) The Maker of Miracles (2006) and My Journey with God (2008) are narrations about my journey with my spiritual guru. My new poetry book INK Echo of life and love published by Éditions de L’Ocean Indien earlier this year (2019) in Mauritius, my birth country is a collection of love poems extolling the feelings and desires of women. The Princess and the Crow is my first story book for children ,released by Austin Macauley Publishers London in March 2019. I love to write. I guess my writing has a special cliché of island 🌴 life, natural,unpretentious and full of beauty. View all posts by Anita Bacha
Wow. This is a beautiful poem. It is short and succinct, yet it holds so much power and meaning. Every time I read it, I think of several ways to interpret. Thank you for sharing this beauty with us! 🤗

Thank you too for reading and commenting Holly G. I clicked the picture in Beijing, China few years ago. More precisely, at the Great Wall of China. I caught a glimpse of a red rose and the sharp thorns, whilst climbing a flight of steps. Simultaneously, I was visiting the Beijing International Book Fair where my poetry book SOUL POETRY was exhibited. I was inspired to jot down this poem. I agree totally with you it’s powerful. I won’t tell what profound emotions inspired me personally. I leave it to my readers to interpret it according to their circumstances and their wishes.
Thank you once more and good night 😘
