Scarlet petals bloom,

Sharp thorns guard a sweet perfume,

Fading in the sun.

To smell a rose

A gentle moment

Eternal whisper of a heart

What scent does carry

On this spring day's happy air

Is it love....... or rose?

Peach and then deep red

The Chinaman’s roses bloom

And he is not dead

A swirling vortex

Layers of velvet motion

Thus unfolds the rose

red spiral vortex

drawn deep into the darkness

seeking you, the light

Dusk sun lights a rose

Heirloom rose says I love you

Blushing bright red rose.

Crimson tears falling

the rose mourns it's lost petals

soil embraces them

wild rose covered house

buzzing of the bumblebees

postman waves his arm

rose spray tumbles down

stone wall like my old loves do

but new buds await

Roses, roses, YES

Yes, yes, ROSES, I

LOVE ROSES, I do

Sniff, sniff, harder sniff

Breathe in, Smell, smell, stronger, now

I'm here, in the centre

The rose lies alone

Heartbreak grows from each petal

Love lost suddenly

Laura Coleman's avatar

Her perfume a gift

For those who step off the path

Behold the wild rose

From Tender Ground's avatar

Thorns draw blood before

crimson red, fragrant foiled flesh

With pain come pleasure
