Love Definition

Here stands a rose
Soft petals enclosed
Sweet essence seeps gently
Enticing your nose

The rose has got older 
The petals have dried
The essence is weaker
The stem is less lithe

But only in your eyes
The rose is the same 
The colour, its vibrance
Will always remain

one of the best poem.....the metaphor of flower and the freshness of flower in the mind even after they dried up..........is a lovely thing which add beauty to the verse
