How To Entice a Rose

Tame your wish to unfasten the shut bud ‘til she’s willing! Give her sweetest thoughts of spring. Attract her, softly thrilling with your words and compliments. If the sprout of rose is closed you need gentle kindheartedness. Warm alluring breath of love may touch cheek with such caress that first petals open slow. Now ensure her - and yourself – that there is no other one that deserves such attitude under shining moon and sun no one that compares to her. But you have to say the truth or you will feel painful thorn. If you do, you’ll see delight Beautiful as dusk and dawn when the rose unlocks herself. Ensnare the ears with kindness, enmesh with care her splendor. Cautions stroke her fears away! Then may your fingers tender detach the outer casing. Coat the rose with water drops from your lips – fresh summerkiss over body, mind and soul. Feel with beating heart the bliss when the trembling bud unclench’s. Shivering the petals spread ample to receive delight. Open are the calyx’s thighs that entangled day and night the straight erected carpel.
