ODE TO A ROSE

Oh! Graceful Rose, Even when your lips are closed, I feel very close to you, I feel you too are close to me. Oh! Graceful Rose, Even when my eyes are closed, I can smell your fragrance in my breath, I can see your eyes winking like a fish in a net. Oh! Graceful Rose, Even when your eyes are closed, I can hear your silence through my heart’s woes, You too can feel my love through your beauty which was why I admire you from close! Oh! Graceful Rose, My words are still close, But I cannot tell you whom as a mate I chose, Even when you are to me and I am to you now- Very Close!
