Like a Rose

To me she is like a rose, Endowed with beauty that defies all odds; To me she is juxtaposed, Betwixt enchanting beauty and tantalizing soul. To me she is just a rose, An immaculate fit in pulchritude’s elite; To me she stands forlorn, So mesmerizing, with secrets untold. To me she is like a rose, Surrounded by thorns that pierce my heart’s walls; Eagerly and charily I long, To know to whom her heart shall truly belong. -written in April, 2014
