True Love

Joanna Garrido

A blood red rose her petals meet

in delicate perfection

Closer in the centre, withstanding wind or storm

Prickles on her stem can never touch her heart

She is passion, she is nature’s work of art

 

The Roman goddess Venus held her sacred in the myth

From Cupid’s spill of nectar she was born

Do not underestimate this bloom from up above

She is harmony, desire, she is true love
