A Mystical Rose

I look upon a single mystic rose Marveling at a world of beauty A light so bright my eyes begin to close I feel to protect it is my duty Here I stand within this quiet place Marveling at a world of beauty As the petals open I see her face She shines with the colors of a rainbow Here I stand within this quiet place Music from her lips begins to flow For a moment time begins to stand still She shines with the colors of a rainbow Leaving this place will take all of my will I feel I'm powerless to look away For a moment time begins to stand still So I marvel at the rose night and day I feel I'm powerless to look away I look upon a single mystic rose A light so bright my eyes begin to close Dedicated to Mystic Rose. I started to write this as a joint poem but could not stop once I started. Rose I will have to get you to start us off with a verse.

Whenever I see a comment from Mystic I think of Seal's (no relation) 'Kiss from a Rose', coz that's how her comments feel lol. Beautiful tribute to a lovely lady. Take care, Richard

In terms of rhythm and flow.....one of your best Terzanelle, Richard. I'm sure Rose is touched by this dedication and your wish to collaborate with her...

Thanks Eileen, Rose's name makes me think of the rose in Stephen King's Gun Slinger series, in search of the Dark tower. Within the rose is a universe that mesmorizes Roland of Gilead.
