Winter's Hidden Rose












 


I search my dreams, tracks in new fallen snow
pine and balsam scent wafting in cool air
within soft drifts hidden a flower grows
winter's delicate rose handle with care

snowy white owl, gently whispers your name
messenger of  hope fresh  journey ahead
romance melting cold hearts eternal flame
velvet petals bloom crisp in winter's bed

within your soft moist lips crystals of love
but, thy thorns of beauty hold me confined
stirring my soul, songs of the mourning dove
desire firmly embedded  roots  entwined

will , I pick thee winter rose for a kiss
within my lover arms I find true bliss

      Hi Brian,

      Well, you have to love owls they are full of mysticism and I have a
      thing for roses..sentimental I guess..

    Beautiful poem of seeking and finding, Truedessa. And finding bliss with a lover in winter seems like a most wonderful thing.

    lips, crystals of love
    beauty in ice
    reminds me of the Lord whispering to me years ago
    "flowers bloom against the snow"

    Those arms and bliss
    That you can't miss
    Bring them near
    And fly through the atmosphere
    Owls taking flight
    Their own world until daylight

      Could be a black and white owl
      out on a winter night's prowl
      taking flight long into the night

    Beautiful Sonnet. excellent imagery and beautifully seductive feel through such polar opposites as the rose and the depth of winter's snow. Very nicely done.

    Sensuously beautiful. It's just perfect! And owls not often seen can be just as attractive. Finely wrapped up Truedessa!

      Hi Bjorn, I guess I was in a sonnet mood and I do like writing about
      roses for some reason.

    Delicate yet strong, the rose that survives the bitter bite of cold and blooms in spite, or maybe because of it. Beauty found in unusual circumstances. I have seen roses still blooming in late November peeking out from under first snowfall. Survivors. Nice capture.

    Most attractive rose I've seen anywhere without being face-to-face. And Snowy White Owl is a true favorite of ours.
    Winter hides wondrous creations and creatures, and I love reading "winter" blogs
    and your own inspired words ending in a kiss....and bliss!
    PEACE and LIGHT, Truedessa (Thanks for that, also!)
