Paper Roses of Love

Image if one will, a field where paper roses grow, Each color an emotion, it's variations symbolic to Feeling felt, and yet expressed. Compositions of love letters, shaped into delicate Blossoms, growing or dieing within the fragile human Heart. A unique species of floral design, enchanting the Raw essences of it's creator, with a mystical fragrance All it's own. Passions spice crimson red, romantic sensuality A white splicing with reds undertow. Blues calming peaceful shades of hew, and a navy's hardened edge exposing devotions Everlasting love in beauty's open petals of the divine. A golden sunflower opens wide, a visions friendship flower, Seeds cast to the fertile soil beneath the kindred of humanity. Compassion's evergreen bouquet, So many multitudes of description, It is impossible to describe all, For change is the one constant rhythm Of life itself. Death's black rose, a crumbling love letter that melts away, A disintegration of thoughts emotion unto the river of dust. Not completely forgotten, Living only by memory's remembrances, Of past echoes, Left alive in shadows contrasting shades faded by time. Fragile is the human heart, made of crystal glass, Shattering easily to the touch, if handled to roughly. But even more delicate are the emotions held within, A prism of reflections. It's light leads to the inner garden of the spiritual soul, Where the paper roses do grow. Imaginations field of wonders, thoughts glorious Bouquet of possibilities to draw from. A limitless expressive well, for the poet's ink pen, Lightly dripped onto the empty page of white, To write upon, vivid are these roses to the poetic heart. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
