Being Rose





crystal dewdrop gems adorn

crimson petals’ velvet sheen

nature’s tears lap delicate

   as tender bud unfurls



throb of scarlet bleeding rose

each splash of sanguine need aflow

surging with this piercing passion
 
   of your thirsty thorns



disrobing sheath enfolding core

probing layers shaken free

	unveiling famished bloom



   dive our intimate senses flood

      spill to my lips

         as drink in ardent kiss


  
Being Rose
