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
