Virgin Rose


In the shadow of an archway
Stands a single blood red rose
Startling in her beauty
Wher smid the weeds she grows

Her deep crimson petals
Are cupping her velevet heart
Protecting her delicate centre
Like a priceless work of art

Her head is held majestically
Above thorns of deadly warning
Awaiting the freshest tear of dew
At the break of summer morning

Lonely is this beauty
Untouched by warming sun
Holding back her charms
Hidden from everyone

Until her gentle prince happens to stop by
And tenderly picks her from the dark
To love until they die.
