My poem is a metaphor.

Beneath the dark skies, when life is fast asleep, I spotted a beautiful rose, rocking her bees to sleep. As morning spews her dew, and the stars begin to dim, the roses have all opened, there's buzzing from within. Now it's time for breakfast, the boys are hungry fellows, they leave their bed of roses, to spread their dust of yellow. Whenever I see a bee, I'll appreciate him more, for if a rose can keep him, he's someone to adore.

Your poem presents a beautiful metaphor that uses the natural relationship between roses and bees to convey a deeper message. The "dark skies" and "life is fast asleep" could symbolize moments of introspection or times of quiet reflection. The rose, a symbol of beauty and nurturing, "rocking her bees to sleep," suggests a sense of care and protection, perhaps alluding to a loving presence or comforting aspect in one's life.
