Rose
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
the scent of a rose...
sweet, fresh, floral, a loved one
unmistakable
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
subtly romantic
sweet velvety valentine
touching fragile hearts
~jcw
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
Her perfume a gift
For those who step off the path
Behold the wild rose
Thorns draw blood before
crimson red, fragrant foiled flesh
With pain come pleasure
