An Inspired Rose

Shall we guilty claim
a rose, as her beauties rain?
when suppressing her prickles
floods of her blood
bedew her roots
absorbed in grace.

Shall we banish beaming scents
of a rose rising in light? 
when flourishing wonders
and streams of delight
flowing into human veins
avidly captured beyond words.

Shall we a beholder blame
for admiring in shining light a rose?
when many a reason
grant noble human hands 
to hold an evergreen rose
rejoicing at divine creation.

Shall we a rose deny 
a deep inner desire
to serve and give?
Bearer of Aphrodite and Venus Love
showy but unrevealing
transcends words what she conveys.

Shall I Euterpe invoke
my rose to inspire?
with sacred music
words above the clouds
penetrating fervent hearts
that never leave the heavens of poetry.

Never be sorry for missing one of my writes dear Demetrios, I understand all the constraints that sometimes prevent us from doing so.. what we share is a sweet passion to write and read not an obligation.. It is both a great pleasure and a brightening light what I derive from reading your beauties dear Demetrios.

I love this heartfelt rose-adoring creation my good friend! Just what I needed these dark days. This shines a light, a beacon to journey towards! Exactly what a fine poet should give to his/or her readers! Such inner soul revelations are the foundation of poetry and the reason we write and informed readers read. A fav.. a gem ...
