Houri Roses

Houri roses

beautiful houri roses
the flowers of the night
bloomed in the darkness
spread their fragrances of desires
in the passions and charms 
of their beautiful petals

swayed in the beauty
bathed in the evening hospitality
invited the night’s beetles
who missed the caress of stamens loves
and let them felt into
the false of sweetest memories

the beauty of prickly hauri roses
were irresistible
however the thorns which were blown
by the night winds
were capable to rip
the asphalt of a lonely heart

beautiful houri roses
why don’t you
spur your smiles
and tell the moon
that your charm is now owned by the sun
and generate your shadows
to embrace the true love
and say goodbye
to the pseudo lovers
