Ode To a Perfect Rose

ODE TO A PERFECT ROSE TO MY ROSE Oh rose, with velveteen ears, so soft and tender in years. So sensuous to rub between fingers. Oh how your romantic fragrance lingers! MY ROSE REPLIES Your admiration as you twirl my stem, and form my beatific name into a meme, as a memory, a pressed prayer, so holy. You treasure me and sing my praise, slowly. MY FINAL WORDS Indeed, oh magnificent flower, I can share : how you tango between my teeth & decorate my hair. You exude so much happiness, so perfectly red. I close my eyes and dream of you, as your petals touch my bed. 4/3/2017 Shadow Hamilton's Ode to Flowers Contest
