Winsome Rose

She could have been the 
Most DELICATE ROSE.
But a rose nevertheless

She was a BEAUTY
I suppose, a WINSOME rose
She was intrinsically mine.

By ELABORATE design 
I AWOKE to a beauty
Well defined and  QUITE DEVINE

OH yes REGAL and refined
Gazing upon her ESSENCE
There, one thousand SUMMERS young.

No ordinary rose 
Gentle snowflakes and perfumes.
Every tender petal was 

An obvious tribute to
Her true beauty
Lovely and overwhelming

I was consumed with 
FEVERISH devotion
How PROFOUND, a PERFECT ROSE

A FLAMING beauty, I RESOUND 
A precious JOY
I have found.
