A Rose's Secret

by Robert H   Nov 7, 2006


A rose looses it's purpose everyday
To most just make a couple stay
This is why the rose is loosing it's meaning
Because people now are giving it no feeling
But to few it means much more than that
And those few will keep the meaning intact
A rose hides some secrets that most of you don't know
So I will tell you to make this flower glow
This flower is meaningful,precious, and it's presence is so true
This is why I have given one to you
The rose of love is the the one I give
Each one you receive helps our love grow within
A roses secret is kept deep inside
Waiting to open for the big surprise
In this state it holds all the love i have for you
Our memories and dreams just waiting to come true
When it finally starts to open the the meaning will be revealed
And the love we have for each other will finally be sealed
The redness of the rose is the precious blood you help flow
Beating from my heart my true love always shows
The scent of the rose means much more than that
Each little breath keeps both our hearts intact
Finally opened wide the rose looks as beautiful as you
But now has much more meaning than you have ever knew
Every pedal thats on it means a memory we made together
A pedal a memory for us to remember forever
After awhile the rose start to whither away
But that just seals in all the memories we have made
One by one the pedals fall to the Ground
But that just a sign of all the love that was found
Each pedal that falls is everything we have made till this very day
And a few years down the road will be used on our wedding day
So remember a rose can mend a broken heart
And help even take away some deep deep scares
And when tightly wrapped it holds all our joy in
Till it finally opens so I can see your beautiful grin
The pedals will be put away
Till our wedding day
You will finally see them falling in front of you
As you walk to say "I Do"
I love you

    I love it! It is full of meaning and just makes you thin kof some realities. Although taking a step back kinda was overwhelming, at the enormous size or this poem. You may have lost me once or twice but I really enjoyed what I got from it! I have a feeling I will read more of your work when I am conscious. lol

    This is grat because you've put a lot of effort into the meaning and feeling, but it falls apart for me because so much of it seems so forced. At times you sacrifice clear rhyming for the sake of the poem's rhytm, and infuriatingly you then do the reverse and have an excessively long line which seems to be there purely to force a rhyme.

    But there's no doubt from the length that you mean this as a pure and sincere dedication, and that's to be commended. But you've given a couple of hopefully unintentional comic moments with the use of "loosed" and "pedal". :-)
