In the shadow of an archway Stands a single blood red rose Startling in her beauty Where amid the weeds she grows Her deep crimson petals Are cupping her velvet heart Protecting her delicate centre Like a priceless work of art Her head is held majestically Above thorns of deadly warning Awaiting the freshest tear of dew At the break of summer morning Lonely is this beauty Untouched by warming sun Holding back her charms Hidden from everyone Until her gentle prince happens to stop by And tenderly picks her from the dark To love until they die. |

junemac: This is lovely and I enjoyed reading it. Reminds me of our climbing rose, called Crimson Blaze, as there is only one perfect, dark red rose left on it. Perhaps a prince will come for it too! Betty Lou Hebert |

I’m sure that special someone was lured by the heavenly scent of this maiden beauty. And gently pulled her into his arms, riding toward the first blush of day. Where their budding love blossomed, and forever bloomed... Simply radiant June! Richy |
