velvet spores ...

touching petals upon my skin
   feel her redness from within
velvet spores bloom in folds
   tales of my rose remain untold

greenly grow in garden's heart
   'til buds profuse so far apart
when to reach my heaven's gate
   her softest touch upon my fate

chameleon wings of blushing peach
   downy yellow her fingers do reach
pink alba turns a purple's royal
   tuscany's strain, so dark and loyal

for each of us to be consumed
   bedded petals be our sweet perfume
to rest upon her velvet spores
   forever to dream in forever mores

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.

thanks, so much for the response ... i debated on who's perspective to focus on, male or female ...

M.A., The abundance of elemental references in this piece is both earthy and ethereal, to my way of thinking. Sensual as well as cerebral, it is quite captivating, very rhythmic, and a delight to this reader.

thanks Claire ... always a pleasure in knowing you read my work ... i was trying to work in as many references to real rose varieties as i could in this work, without it seeming obvious and keep it sensual at the same time ... thanks again.
