Not A Doubt.

 

Not A Doubt.

 

Stalked in tall greenery, cupped as itself,
bud-tight but becoming
slowly unfurled petaled perfection opens
to show in this single rose
tender attention, strongly fragile its scent 
from a distance out-faces
with essence relevant questions on hold. 

Scent-soaked poetry, unsaid will vibrate
as this clandestine rose
speaks its message from faraway hands
and treasured more
by intention to gently perfume our fated
attraction shall leave 
not a doubt on how love\'s destiny stands.

 

Sweet evocative sign  

oh milky-white rose,

your secret so disguised

only providence knows.
