Feline

I picked a fragrant rose, dulcet and perfumed soft, kissing, the honeyed petals, rich, dark and dripping sweetness, oh, I love the scent of bright red roses! and I carried it to you, my dearest, my precious, adorable and treasured one, you, my delicate sweet darling, oh, I still cherish your beloved touch! melodious, the birds sing, a pleasurable song in the trees, the sky azure, lovely, the sun gold, I press the red rose to my rosy cheek, oh, my beloved feline, I lay it at your grave! ______________________________ July 23, 2015 Poetry/Free Verse/feline Copyright Protected, ID 07-1095-312-23 All Rights Reserved, 2015, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard Late December 2018 Standard Contest sponsor, Brian Strand, Judged 2018 First Place
