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 Elizabeth santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 01-26-2001).] |

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 ======================= 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. ~Shakespeare~ |
