- The Rose And The Dandelion -


    A spectrum of colors
    adorned the garden of love
    Heavenly beauty,
    the rose has a timeless allure
    Tiny petals whispered
    romance in the garden

    A yellow flower,
    not from a noble family
    He focuses on
    a newly sprouted beauty
    She didn't misread the signals
    He was attractive,
    different from the others
    Humble and simple, 
    symbol of the sun
    The other roses turned away their heads,
    gave him a sense of insufficiency

    Love is much stronger than fear, 
    sometimes you must lose to understand
    Regardless of the outcome,
    the flirtation itself was a golden moment
