Ivory Rose


The sun comes over the trees
Bringing the morning
Bringing freshness to the day
Drying the night's dew from the leaves
In the garden, there is a single Rose
Pale and delicate, not yet fully opened
Alone on the stem
Hiding her mystery inside her petals
What is she thinking?
What is she waiting for?
She is sleeping
Waiting for her love's kiss to awaken her
The sun tries to coax her to awaken
With it's warm, brilliant rays of light
But Rose still waits, still sleeping

He comes, and touches the delicate leaves
The petals of the Rose, he sees
And in a moment of passionate reaction
Brings his lips to those petals and kisses them softly
Rose awakens and raises her face to her love
Spreading wide open her petals to him
For him to take, enjoy as he pleases
No inhibition, no doubts, only sweet desire, pure love
Lost in the aroma of ardor and the intensity of the moment
They are together, her love and his adoring Rose.
