Haiku entitled "Roses".

A haiku is actually a group of "hokkus," or one 5-7-5 syllable poem. This haiku has a lot of meaning and symbolism. It's one of the few of my poems that I actually think is decent lol. Enjoy :)

I gaze at the stars-
tonight they stare back at me.
I feel ill at ease.

A sea of faces,
shining with an empty hope
of seeing daylight.

I feel the rays of
Sunlight; they pierce my skin, search
my soul for darkness.

And with each new day
I am blinded by its Light...
I cannot forget.

I breathe in deeply-
but the scent of a rose in
Spring is like poison.

Why could I not see
before, that its great Beauty
overcomes its thorn?

There is a story
tucked away in each petal;
a careful Design.

I weep for all the
roses that have died, that ne'er
had the chance to bloom.
