A Bed of Roses($10.00Value)

Description

A Bed of Roses is a collection that unfolds the way a rose does – petal by petal, layer by layer – revealing the soft, the bruised, the fragrant, and the hidden. Each poem lifts another piece of the bloom, exposing what beauty tries to conceal: the ache beneath desire, the quiet violence of memory, the tenderness that survives even after the world has pressed its weight onto you. These poems move through love, loss, identity, forgiveness, ego, desire, and the strange tenderness of being alive – through almosts, endings, small mercies, private wars, and the quiet triumph of choosing to grow anyway. Together, they form a portrait of a woman learning to hold her own contradictions: the part that wants to be gentle, the part that wants to burn everything down, and the part that simply wants to rest. A Bed of Roses is ultimately a book about risk. The kind you take when you stop admiring the flower from afar and dare to peel it open. It’s about the courage to touch what might hurt, to reach for beauty knowing it can draw blood, and to choose vulnerability even when safety would be easier. These poems remind us that every act of feeling deeply is a gamble – and that sometimes, the most dangerous thing we can do is to care.
