Sunlight paints your blush with ruby highlights, inking you in stunning chromatic tints. And happy thoughts glow within your aura, sought out by both artists and troubadours. With wafts of romantic inclinations, your orgasmic odor summons a kiss. And oft fills sultry souls with thoughts of bliss, imagining a world built on a wish. Laid in a book, you await tomorrow, your crimson color crumbling into dust. But a flood of warm thoughts wash sad away as your rosy disposition blossoms. Your bloom morphs into a classic icon, along with caviar and Cadillacs. And stardom adds glamor to your array, a phantasmagorical display. You accompany pain through dark shadows, subduing scary or sorrowful thoughts. And mourn with all who cry clutching your thorns, comforting distraught souls, without a word.

Beautiful poem. I could picture the rose in full detail. I could see this poem hanging in a gallery beneath a picture of a rose. The poem is really amazing. It is really beautiful.
