Of Roses and Rapture Stumbling through forest deep Wandering endlessly Trying to find place to sleep Came upon an open glen Amidst rapt beauty of rose garden Enchanted cottage waits As if they’re beckoning Wearied travelers fates Fair maiden under willow tree I glance at her she looks back at me With much hospitality Greets and takes care wholeheartedly My stay turns deeply more Coupled they fall utterly into loves spell Both had reasons that had befell Hearts to question if Someday to find true love within Or weather just a myth She planted seeds of hope eternal Dreaming of he who shall Show unwavering love for only her He had searched far and wide For she possessing true beauty within Now both in desired union Vows wanting to share of their ecstasy Upon a plaque he carved “Of roses and rapture to time eternal True-lovers-knot tied in heaven we reside” Upon that day they were wed Finding that in-which desired most of all A love so pure and complete So if by chance you find a cottage Wandering through forest deep And upon a plaque it states About pure loving ecstasy within You’ve found your way to heavens gates Do go in for true lovers reside therein By, Cerenity "God doesn't have to be reminded that we exist. We have to be reminded that He exist!" (Writer Unknown) |

What a sweet read. I guess dreams really do come true. This was presented in a wonderful style and carries such an impact but it does so tenderly and with a careful attention to transition that the reader (or at least me) finds themself captivated without even knowing it. Truely a beautiful read. |

Hi Mark, I am so glad you feel that way, because I had a heck of a time trying to find a setting and a way to use the challenge phrase (of roses and rapture) and was worried it did not do so properly, again thank you so much. Love, Cerenity |

Hi Poeminister, Thank you so much, I have to admit this was a hard phrase for me any way it took quiet some time to find just the right way to go about it, and im not to thrilled with the ending maybe I will find something better after I have been away from it, again thank you. I could not find the one you did using this phrase did you do one or did I miss it? Hi Kethry, Thank you so much for your kind reply, |
