Dubious Possesion

Roses unfolding the redness inside me Swathed my heart…my entirety These petals slowly uncovering with glee Trying to unveil the veracity. Peeling the deepness… Unraveling the emptiness…. Grip the stem of this forlorn petal Sip all its sweet nectar… Its yours. Its yours to keep. Its yours to cherish.. It’s yours to relish… Open your heart Glance at this redness Stare beyond the vastness Discern this emptiness… Bisect the thinness of these petals Caress all its brightest hues… Its yours. Its yours to marvel. Its yours to adore.. Its yours to admire…. Mind this bud Look into its uniqueness Be thrilled with its highness Pervade this emptiness… Scrutinize the potency of these sepals Test its verdant shadows Its yours. Its yours to dwell. Its yours to lurk… Its yours to skulk… Neglect it and you’ll suffer Desert it...you lackluster! But its’ beauty you never could hinder It’s sincerity you couldn’t vex forever Grasp it in a jiffy…. Posses it mild and swiftly… A n y w a y Its yours. Its yours to keep Yours to marvel Yours to dwell Its yours… Its all yours…
