the red rose

a fragrant red rose, dulcet and perfumed soft
with sun kissed petals, rich and dripping sweetness
gently I carry her to you my precious and treasured one
while melodious birds sing songs in low tweets and chirps
and rose is wilting in my hand as she hangs her head dying
as I weep and lay her on the garden grave of my beloved cat
