The Rose and You

Some nights as I sit and and look up at the night sky you come to mind.

As I gaze upon the rose

 I can only think of you

 

As beauty radiates from the rose

As does beauty radiate from you

 

As I touch the softness of its petals

I long for the softness of your skin

 

As the fragrance of the rose stimulates my senses

I long for your sweet fragrance.

 

As I look upon the stem

I see your strength

 

As I as look at the leaves

I see your continual growth as a woman

 

As I touch the thorns

My heart feels the pain

Very deep in a captive sort
of way

The way your soft flow of the
rose you portrayed was brilliant

You did a great job writing this
beautiful piece of art

Great job!

Hi Tim,

What a wonderful first read of you I have found. It is tender and loving . Very beautiful tribute to the rose and to the lady that you were thinking of when this beauty was written.

Blessings,
Lesa

This is so lovely, tender and loving. A rare poem from the hand and mind of a man who knows his plants.

Thank you for sharing

How often a woman has been compared to a rose, and for many good reasons. I, too, have felt those thorns. You're poem is excellent, Tim.
