Only Rose

                     
         Bumble bee in search of rose to convey its love,
                although it was warned of thorns guarding rose.
                  All advised , better to choose other blossoms.
 
                 Bumble bee groaning flapping wings continuous
                        flying free frolic in garden.
          Jasmine,  Cosmos, Sunflower, Gardenia greeted
             Flamboyant clusters , Marigolds in row nodded.

             Flower to flower It fled on ceaseless groaning,
      touched sepals, petals, groaned and groaned till came too close,
                     put nose to rose, and then stopped.
                      It kissed in best bliss and started to sip
                               sweet nectar.
                  Its dormant dreamy desires got fulfilled.

          Thirst of bumble bee, not to be quenched elsewhere.
             Its ardent ardour is ready to bear pricks of thorns
                              but to win beauty queen.
