Close To Rose

CLOSE to ROSE

                  Bee though warned of thorns
                   don't care but comes close to rose.
                          even hit by thorns
                       tries to smell and tastes nectar.
                         Slowly rose withers away. 

                                         Pale wizened Rose droops.
                                    Wrinkling petals looking dull,
                                          and losing fragrance.
                                 Buzzing bee tries to dip nose,
                                moans and kisses wilted rose.
