The Burning Rose

The rose, the rose, the lovely rose
The red of flame and passion grows
So sweetly on the rambling vine
Just as the love that once was mine

Oh, rose of beauty, crimson red
Your petals speak the thoughts unsaid
You stir the heart and singe the mind
With embers from another time

In every bloom, a cherished name
That’s burning there in scarlet flame
A love that layed a rose of red
Across a lover’s moonlit bed

The rose, the rose, the flower of bliss
The firey page of remimisce
Is opened as the petals turn
And gazed upon with eyes that yearn

Silently your blooms unfold
The story you had left untold
And now the flame has been reborn
On vines abundantly adorned

Oh, burning rose you please my eyes
For on the arbor sweetly lies
A silken touch of velvet’s lure
A soft caress at memory’s door

Liz, you are the rose of our suppose  
your cadence never ceases to delight me
and this beauty of imagery defined does just that..
delight the reader....
for you sweet poet of grace ....


If my slight Muse do please these curious days ...
The pain be mine ...
but thine shall be the praise.
