Beyond the Barriers

Barriers to my life had been closed for centuries

Once, I opened the barriers and explored:

" I saw two orchids amid weeds

And some sunflowers too

Some dandelions were in the path

Some tulips sprang up somewhere

A few ancient oak trees were guarding them

And at last, I saw a red, red rose

It looks splendiferous to me."

My perplexed mind didn't dare to touch the rose

Despite, my desire didn't care about my dare

Thorns made me bleed

I went back to where I belong

And shut the Barriers forever

When I look behind,

The rose is still there.

Its petals are fading slowly

Though the desire is still burning,

I should stay beyond barriers.

Because I may bleed again.....
