White Rose

I rose my eyes to your elegant pose..
Sweet emotions through my bitterness rose,
warmly embraced me standing on my toes.
Your love engulfed me,I felt small in my own shoes!

Trotting by your hip with entwined fingers
I barely noticed that
My footsteps sounded like an eloquent singer.
I floated in your presence like marveling the great exquisite Havana.
Your love can quench the scorching desert Sahara!

Yes you are my white rose,
The moment you graced me with that white shrub,
I melted in awe,
Avowing its now my love hub
The musky scent relinquished all my plans to visit the next pub.

The velvet touch of each petal
Felt as soft as your lips against mine
Cold tears slith down my chicks like a metal.
My emotions got consumed by the pure shrub

As white like snow,
My white rose shall ever remain
It brings bliss that i have to sustain!
Maintain all memories but not my pain,
You, my white rose should not have a stain!
