The Red Rose of Eternal Love - Part 2

Crimson stains
Of my remains
Ashes of past desires
Are given unto you
Weep not
For finally I shall do you some good
Scatter me in the garden
And as life begins anew
And seasons change to spring
The heavens may water the gardens
My ashes shall make the future bloom
And so when you see the perfect red rose
Crucify me once more
Pluck this flower
And breathe the fragrance of my love
I am the red rose of eternity

Spectacular imagery! A sad tale of love brilliantly expressed. 7 it would be higher if the scale went further.
