Shaz Cheesman Poet Free verse

Rose Petals

Immersed in a body of rose petals I sway side to side 
The waters life embraces the petals like a raft in the sea
Petals rise and fall upon my skin like the ocean crashing to shore

Drawn and pulled, a water game of give and take - petals fall 
The scent of roses fills my breath, a cocktail of pinks, reds, and white; 
colour my eyes and all I see is artistry at work.
