A Rose By Any Other Name

It was there
for the picking,
a velvet ruby red
long and slender swaying
in the comfort of it's bed.

Petals splayed precisely
an enticing grand display,
nature made perfection
quite impressive in bouquet.

It's time of year approaching
when given, just to say
I think of you as special
you're my valentine this day.

Beyond Words, A Rose By Any Other Name

("The Longest Journey", 2020, original encaustic)

Beyond Words, A Rose By Any Other Name…

Everybody’s talkin’ ‘bout it
because it, is all there is.
Like there is but one sun 
everyone sees and is extolling.
Even when they’re pointing at the moon
it’s still just Sun’s light 
reflecting on her face.

Yet still people fuss and fight
splitting hairs all through the night…

But

A Rose By Any Other Name

I remember how it made me think when I first heard Juliet exclaim,
after falling in love with Romeo…a Montague…What is in a name?

The different feeling it evokes depending on which name someone is choosing…
The different emotions that arise from whatever name they’re using
.
My parents christened me James and introduced me to my first synonym…
for no

A Rose By Any Other Name

As humans, I imagine, it is human nature when viewing the sights and sounds around us…to try and understand who we are and all the wonders that surround us.

To do this we attach labels to everything we see…
that’s a cloud, that’s the ocean…that’s a flower…that’s a tree.

These labels are quite useful when used as they’re

A Rose By Any Other Name ---

Through the hushed whisper of the breeze
Flowing through the majestic circling pine trees
I sense that I have stepped
Into a sacred hallowed space

A GARDEN OF ROSES

A heady perfume hits the senses
Euphoric, Exhilarating, Enticing, Ethereal comes to mind
Heaven sighs in a high frequency of vibrations
To whisk one away to never before felt heights 

An Awe descends on

A Rose by Any Other Name

Wouldn’t you know it
The French people rule
Inventing a pill
That makes farting cool
A wee little pill 
You take when you eat
So that gas from your cheeks
Smells ever so sweet
Violets or roses 
Or chocolate perfume 
Instead of foul odors
Permeate the whole room
They even have those
You can feed to your dog
If you’ve got

All the names are just the same
If you are sweet like a rose
I confess, I’m not impressed
Oh, how little that bard knows

For the name of your loved one
Can make you completely melt
When it’s breathed in your heart
Its vibrations are deeply felt

The name of your loved one
Is a promise in one word…
That his love is eternal

In France they don’t call it a pothole
Instead they call it a hen’s nest
It sounds much nicer doesn’t it?
But for drivers, they’re still a pest

A Rose By Any Other Name

When at a festive  dance we met
In gold were those  dear moments set.
We synchronised so sweetly
Without any  gaucherie.
The hours like  fleeting seconds sped
Our present to our future wed
But that reverie did  sadly melt
The way that Eden  itself did wilt..

Trepidation on Boots'   corner grew
To meet you on our

A Rose By Any Other Name Is Just As Sweet

Looking into your eyes,
I can see the signs.
Baby, my hearts on fire.

A million daisies,
Growing in a field
Could not fill my hearts desires.

The way you hold me,
The looks I see in your eyes.
The feeling of your arms around me.

The way my heart jumps,
When you enter the room.
The way your eyes glow,
when your focused on me.

There aren't

A Rose By Any Other Name

i journied through a forrest covered in haze.
through the thick grey fog there was a bright glow of red.
i stumbled trying to make my way towards it,
tripping on the roots from apple trees.
i came closer to this red. a rose was revealed.
this rose was mesmerising. my hand reached for it without thought.
immediately, i threw my

A Rose By Any Other Name

He pricked himself

reaching for the rose,

the scent and beauty

drawing him near.

He was determined

approaching again and again.

He found more thorns

that further injured him.

Growing annoyed,

roughly grabbing,

more scrapes, cuts and then

he crushed the flower with his hand.

She screamed.
