The Rose

I kept the rose on my table
The most beautiful flower I’d seen
Given to me by someone I love
Perfect and pristine

The rose lay on my table
Its romance with the bees just finished
Away from the virgin gardens
Picked and plucked

The rose had no regrets though
It had seen this happen; every-time
A love sacrificed
To see a love blossom

What a soft and touchy write on the rose -romance with the bees being finished. Great write, Shreetam
