Evocative.
Stalked in tall greenery, cupped as itself,
bud-tight seduction,
slowly unfurled petaled perfection opens
to show in this single rose
tender attention and fragile its presence
strongly pervades me in
essence of longed-for desire \'tho untold.
Secret scent-soaked bloom silent vibrates
as this clandestine rose
speaks its message from far-away hands
and treasured more
the intention to gently perfume my fated
surrender I leave
love\'s unspoken beguile as destiny stands.
Sweet evocative sign oh milky-white rose,
with allure disguised only providence knows.
