Velvet Roses

Soft like velvet roses,
strong as surgical steel.
Clamor from the inside,
never to be mangled.
The afterclap of untied. 

Soft like velvet roses,
be tender when you touch.
Thorns are not delicate,
they grow larger with time.
Baseline reigns elegant. 

Soft like velvet roses
raging in thunderstorms.
Perfect dichotomy,
passion is rarely clean.
A gift laudatory. 

Soft like velvet roses,
a match for toying cheeks.
An outlandish display 
for the world to look on.
Love’s a timeless bouquet.
