Unkissed Rose

I wanted to post one more small entry I will be responding to any and all comments have a wonderful night and weekend too thank you "unkissed rose" an unkissed rose has no life such is cold and passionless a stem without touch a petal without fragrance a flower without love nurture the rose to breathe and let desires play out return the stem to feel return the leaf to perfume return the butterfly whole affections and sensations such is life of a kissed rose SkyWatcher 10-21-23

Hi Bill. Thank you Thank you. Yes, life should be of affections and sensations for all to feel alive. What can I say (smile lol) Your commentary Bill is so generous to which I do not take for granted. Thank you. May you and Sara have a wonderful night. Peace and Blessings always to you both. (smile) PS - I'm so sorry I've been late responding to your beautiful and generous reviews and commentary...

Romance with a capital R. You have great imagination. For what is a rose without perfume? Blessings.

an eloquent and soft poem, Lisa. I loved it from the beginning. True, an unkissed rose has no heart...powerfully symbolic words in that line; the advice in the final stanza resonated with me. Enjoy it...faving it. Have a pleasant Saturday. Take care, Sara
