Red Rose

Red rose

So beautiful
Soft petals

Subtle curves
Deep crimson

Red as blood
Rich scent
Velvet touch

Ruby depths
Red as wine

Silken petals
Burning fire
Scarlet shades

Burnished hues

Sunset drips

Cherry tinge
Scent of passion

Crest of love

Fires of fury

Sent from above

What lies beneath
Those folded arms
Of silk?
