The Sick Rose
BY WILLIAM BLAKE
O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

- Poem Commentary *
You gotta admit, this photo and the poem is the perfect combination. Robert Blake is well known poet which makes this pic so much more deserving. This poem is short and yet so deep. Truly a masterpiece.
