Red Rose

heart of 
a beautiful flower 
my eclipse 
of love complete 
red rose 
in all your splendor 
beats love 
the most beautiful 
heart 
of hearts 

you are 
a crowning glory 
passion flows 
in each petal 
light catching 
you blush 
cobwebs 
of silver pearls 
the morning 
dew upon you 

in fragrance 
you smell heavenly 
with all those petals 
upon your crown 
the sun 
all but kisses you 
smiling down 
among'st the thorns 

you are 
a blushing 
red beauty 
scarlet in heart's love 
the sun smiles 
upon you 
enchantingly beautiful 

magical 
in sweet fragrance 
your aroma 
upon the air 
blushing red 
you wear the crown 
upon your heart 

you are the fairest 
mirror,mirror 
upon the wall 
you are the fairest 
in all the land 
soft my scarlet passion 
in beauty 
your heart bare 
queen of passion

Enchanted words throughout. It is a great pleasure to be introduced to your work. Something so simple as a flower holds so much beauty. I very much admire the rose in its softness, redness, and fragrance. The thorns give them a little twist too. It is no wonder they are the symbol of love and are the theme of quite a lot of poetry. You give the rose justice and I enjoyed reading. Always, Laura
