White Rose

A thousand saints
would fall martyr
in a heavenly scent
Purest upon the eyes
to you white rose
with most beautiful 
by far the prettiest

Satin soft petals
falling from the heart 
outwards crowning 
heavenly beauty

Sweetest aroma 
drifting on air
upon scent
prettiest of all flowers
In thorns you
played the part

deep inside
invites from colour
the softest kiss
upon light of day

mirror ,mirror
caressed so sweetly
in the rising sun 
by the morning dew
beautiful 
within
