Disguised.
Stalked in tall greenery, cupped as itself,
bud-tight but becoming
slowly unfurled petalled 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 liaison 'tho unsaid vibrates
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
this milky-white rose
with secret so disguised
only Providence knows.

wonderfully empowering metaphor of that time when all beautiful roses begin to bloom and enrich, their corner of existence
A rose by any other name
Wonderful write today Fay
A fine write Fay.
One of the most stately of flowers - the regal rose. Great write Fay.
loved it fay,
Yes such lovely creation upon the plant and here upon my screen.
Then presented as a heartfelt gesture of positive intention from afar, reassures and reaffirms romance.
The sending of a single rose. Probably the most romantic gesture we know.
A sweet poem!
Beautiful words once more Fay, may that rose always bloom for you.
You have pushed me into another quest now. I didn't know who the artist was it certainly looked like a pre-Raphaelite painting, having looked up the picture I found that the artist was Emily Sandys who was in the pre-Raphaelite dominion, it is my favourite type of art but I had never heard of her, I didn't even realise that there were any females in that group. Ah well more time to be spent on studying her work. Thank you.
