Rewrite: One meaning of a rose I eyed a rose embraced its stem Peerless treasure of velvets shed To make of it a diadem. A crown above my lovers head. Cut, dethorned below the bell I held it with a sympathy Honey sweet with heavens smell Its beauty held my empathy. A petaled gem condemned to die Majestic beauty held in sway A bit of hedonistic ply From ancient past and still today. A given life, cut with a knife A symbols tell, an offered spell A fief sacrifice to life a Hostage dwell in loves pell-mell. Dipped in lovers adagio. Placed and shot from a cupids bow. |

When you rewrite, you take a crystal, and fashion a diamond... Thank you! |

And left in the garden, they cheer our days and bloom high above their thorns... This is beautiful, Sy...  |

I eyed a rose embraced its stem Peerless treasure of velvets shed To make of it a diadem. A crown above my lovers head. Cut, dethorned below the bell I held it with a sympathy Honey sweet with heavens smell Its beauty held my empathy. ================================== A fief sacrifice to life a Hostage dwell in loves pell-mell. Dipped in lovers adagio. Placed and shot from a cupids bow. ===================================== Dip thy pen in indigo ... a poetic bouquet from thy Eden's grow. Oh how I adore when you write of thy Rose, thy sweet suppose wrapped in rhymed repose  *the vocabulary in this ROCKS Sy-babes... my sweet Stinky-winkie of way cool  |

cupid hits his mark symbol of symbols, a rose my heart sings love's song Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

A petaled gem condemned to die Majestic beauty held in sway A bit of hedonistic ply From ancient past and still today. A given life, cut with a knife A symbols tell, an offered spell A fief sacrifice to life a Hostage dwell in loves pell-mell. Once, when I gave a girl roses, she started to cry...because now they would die, she explained. The next girl I dated, worked in a greenhouse...she brought me flowers. Loved this, ST. |

Oh my! I can't begin to tell you how much I loved this one. I have a book at home of all my favorites from the writers of Passions, and hope you don't mind I have put your poem into this book (for my granddaughter one day). Thank you for this perfect gift of poetry.  ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ |

"Dipped in lover's adagio placed and shot from a cupid's bow" =================================== Sir Sy, yet again you stir an "oh my!" I love this! The grace and softness flows well in this, and your use of vocabulary and imagery is stunning! It's sheer beauty and perfection from your pen. I NEED to borrow your muse Of course, my library must have this~ Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
