Roses Speak
Words of love I longed to say
lay silent in my heart.
My shyness held my tongue at bay
terrified to start.
I had to find a way to tell you
of my love for you.
And if by chance within your heart
you hid these feeling too.
So rather than the words of love
I longed to say to you.
I gave you colored roses
that spoke of love so true.
First I gave you roses white
petals soft and pure.
Their meaning spoke of honesty
sincerity and more.
Then yellow roses shouted
you are my closest friend.
I'll stand besides you ever more
our bond will never end.
The roses red spoke of passion
and of my desire.
I wanted you to understand
you set my world on fire.
I used the colored roses
to say my words to you.
Words of love I couldn't say
yet prayed somehow you knew.
The roses told my feelings
no words were said aloud.
Perhaps I should have spoken
without my voice so cowed.
Yes roses give a message
that words often convey.
The roses speak of feelings
and what one wants to say.
Today you gave a rose to me
the color was Pale Blue.
Surprisingly the message said.
"I'm not in love with you!"

The Un red Rose
In the 9th year it was the dawn of days,
there was a rose with no color no form.
It tried to grow in its own
BY ANY OTHER NAME
She unfurls crimson petals
To reveal dewy depths.
Her beauty is reknowned
By all who have seen her.
Her only
little red roses and a bottle of wine
she left I stayed and I'm doing fine
woke up on the floor to a bad mistake
asking myself
SPRING BOUQUET
My sweetheart brought me roses,
Each with tapered stem,
As gold as amber sunsets,
Twelve lovely fragrant gems.
My
- The Rose -
The rose blushed red beneath my tread
In upward gaze of sad decline.
Her twisted bush, with bleeding head
Exquisite
