The Mystic Rose

Petals
of white roses 
sprinkled over virgin heart
scents of untold perfume when consumed
by the lust of young lovers
innocently thrusting toward future dreams
Fragrances of desire
Now awakened
By love

Dear Arthur, I loved your description of love unfolding like the petals of a rose. Was this inspired by the Soup's own "Mystic Rose"? She has such a beautiful soul! (Sorry my hospice poem made you cry; cling to faith to carry you through this difficult time, Arthur. Your friend will be in my prayers.) Love, carolyn
