A Rose I Never Got

In the morning, I awake with a thought,
A thought about a rose I never got.

Its beauty, oh do I reminisce about.
And the thought ever grows like roots sprout.

Even in the embrace of my flower, do I miss it.

I’ve tried brushing the thought out my heart and mind,
But upon site of it, my heart rushes as do the wind.

From its memories have I failed to conceal,
I know, forever haunting me, this thought will.

Upon thought, my feelings fail to jump bail.
I got no option but to put these feelings to veil.
