Roses Rising

A lonely face peers into distant calm 
The fortunate bliss of untimely perception, 
She is a vision upon her terrace of contemplation 
And in sight of her roses rising. 
If they could only see her 
Within the depths of her estranged reign 
Then they may cleanse her 
And all before her shall become beautiful again.  
Aces and spades of a tormented heart 
The imperial dream of roses rising, 
She is scorned by her lover's disbelief  
And torn by her condemnation 
Yet they are willing to see her 
Within the grasp of solace and redemption. 
Aptitude and plentitude of roses rising, 
A life's romance surely to remain 
She is splendour of an unknown nature 
Foreseeing what there is to gain. 
They are now able to see her, 
Her light casting shadow upon his mind 
And he is thankful for her kindness 
As she of her roses rising 
Never again to lose her find.
