Secret.
Stalked in tall greenery, cupped as itself,
bud-tight but becoming
slowly unfurled petal perfection opens
to show in this single rose
gentle attention that strongly fragile sighs
from a distance
which out-faces with essence so knowingly.
Sweet silent colours and rich tones vibrate,
because this rose
holds beauty from friendship\'s warm hand,
treasured more
by it\'s message to bloom for me, now fated
for foreign shore,
a rose sings love\'s wishes from far-off land.
Impassioned, compelling, incarnadine rose,
your secret so deep only providence knows.
