The Heart of a Rose

Xray-Flower - The Sunday Muse

A heart is a gift of beauty
to understand it's depth
you must look beneath
layers of flesh and bones
feel the beat of life

 A rose is a gift of beauty
to understand it's depth
you must look beneath
soft petals, stem and thorns
see the enchantment of life

 when nurtured they both
grow and blossom in exquisiteness
until the season of love ends
mourning loss - heart broken
she leaves a black rose

Heart of the Rose

A single red rose

late summer bloom

dare I touch it

my heart quivers

for that one love

 I never touched

grasping the thorns

of passion and life,

yearning to discover

the heart of the rose

our imperfections

inhaling the beauty

of us

My deepest love
I give you roses from my heart
my deepest love
petals and thorns beautiful art
fresh fallen snow, burdens depart
I give you roses from my heart
my deepest love

Blue Rose

How will I compare thee, for ye stand alone

an elusive blue rose, among the reds and whites

wonderfully enchanted, I softly moan

heavenly scent, reaching new heights

soft petals, glisten in the evening dew

thorns pierce the heart with loving verse

collapsing into sweet dreams of you

love in abundance, our souls converse

your vibrant hue sets you apart

many wonder where your garden grows

seeking your beauty, wondrous work of art

 behold the magical blue rose

unending hope lies within you

 remaining ever strong and true

author's note: For a Blue Friend...a new shade of blue..Happy Birthday from me to you!
