Climbing the stalks
i slip on smooth exterior
lusciously greener than leaf
spine to its body of bloom.

Resting in velvet
curling at their edges
enveloping me
petals are the prize.


learning each day, for you and i, our paths have met, i've already learnt that you are love.

interesting taking on the persona of the bug,
being cradled by the roses

Gemma, I liked this. It was like I was at the top of the stem looking up at the velvet red rose...... A beautiful sight...
