Where the Wild Roses Grow by DevineDayDreams

featured in If It Doesn’t Belong 11-20-2009 / featured in Imaginative Realism 11-19-2009 They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me it I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one / She stared in my eyes and smiled / For her lips were the colour of the roses / That grew down the river, all bloody and wild When he knocked on my door and entered the room / My trembling subsided in his sure embrace / He would be my first man, and with a careful hand / He wiped out the tears that ran down my face They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me it I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day On the second day I brought her a flower / She was more beautiful than any woman I’d seen / I said, “Do you know where the wild roses grow, / so sweet and scarlet and free?” On the second day he came with a single red rose / He said: “Give me your loss and your sorrow” / I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed / “If I show you the roses will you follow?” They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me that I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day On the third day he took me to the river / He showed me the roses and we kissed / And the last thing I heard was a muttered word / As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow / And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief / And I kissed her goodbye, said, “All beauty must die” / And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth They call me The Wild Rose / But my name was Eliza Day / Why they call me it I do not know / For my name was Eliza Day / For my name was Eliza Day / For my name was Eliza Day / / /
These things are done by Arletta

It was late, a nose was stuffy, sleep was unobtained, a camera was in existence .. that was the beginning That was the end of the beginning. The beginning of the beginning was not so easily pinned down, but, it was built upon by years, by being alone, by health issues, by being used to being followed around by mad beings with cameras and the cameras being all gone, and wondering if .. how … should he see me .. would it be … Sometimes it’s nice to know what one looks like. Alphabet Soup: R stands for redhead, because my hair is red even if it can’t exactly be told in the picture. It also stands for ‘RLS’ which are the initials I used to sign my artwork with and is part of who I am, because it also stands for “Randy Lee Stone” which is a name some people still know me by.
