I AM LIKE A ROSE
DH LAWRENCE
i am myself at last
now i achieve
my very self
i
with the wonder mellow
ful fine warmth
i issue forth in clear
and single me
perfected from my fellow.
here i am all myself
no rose-bush heaving
its limpid sap to culmination has brought
itself from sheer and naked
out of the green
in stark-clear roses
than i to myself am brought.
...enjoy....
