Rose

As I look at you

I stare at your dark red hue

Yet you look so curious

And my mind so delirious

You’re so simple yet pretty

Your beauty keeps me busy

You’re so perpetual

You’re so fragrant

Your colour is yet so vibrant

I feel over the moon

As I listen to your sweet tune

As you play your guitar

I wonder where you are

Yet what's so sad is seeing your petals

 Resting down waiting to settle

Your sharp little thorns

As you look over and mourn

I’ll miss you, my rose

But I’ll keep you close

Even after valentine's I suppose
