What is more mysterious than a red rose?
the bouquet within tickles your nose
a stem alone in a bud vase
adds beauty to soft candlelight
in your delicate hand it adds grace

soft velvety petals.. crimson red
if it is laid upon your pillow
sweet dreams serenade your bed

intoxicates the shadows
silhouettes quietly dance
crimson whispers in the meadows
the fawn in the morning prance

If you awaken in the morn,
to find your satin pillow bare
maybe, a dark stranger
slipped the crimson rose in your hair

A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
- Paul Valery (1871-1945)
