Rose
Rose
I love her
and love her ineffably.
Which is partly what makes this so hard.
When life had cast me to be lonely
her soft voice had sewn past my guard;
Piercing my skin
and everything in
Pulling us close more and more.
She silenced my din
and soothed what was in
my heart and its
crimson shores.
So
a rose by any other name…
would not be the one that I love.
I love her
so…
More than the stars
or their worlds
above.
Down
Down
I hate this hour of the night.
And just to excite you even more here is a new video of Bear’s Den performing A Year Ago Today at Knee Deep Festival last year.
Enjoy!
