Bloom of a Single Rose
On sheet music we left atop the baby grand,
sat a lead crystal vase with single white rose,
losing its fragrant, luscious full bloom.
Perfect rose-tinged white petals fall in silence,
each by each, from its drooping bloom, alighting
softly upon piano keys; scatter here, scatter there.
Aromatic fragrances of love and rose perfume mingle,
lingering on air, long after wild passions are tamed;
tousled sheets are reminiscent of our pleasures spent.
The heavy scent permeating the room will last many days,
long after blissfully vowing our undying love will forever burn
like candles of eternal flame, our hearts are bound by love.
Forever and ever it will burn; far beyond earth's standstill.

Thanks, John; appreciate the read. I'm a dinosaur from the era of formal grammer usage and construction. Today, however, my "old school" style is considered archaic and passe. Comments to the contrary inspires me to stay true to myself; dinosaur lovers are still among us!
Thanks for the boost! I need that from time to time.

I visited your profile and found you are a DU newbie. As such, let me be among the first to welcome you. I, too, am new here, though the warm reception and comradery I've encountered during my brief residency has made me feel like I've been around for years, I love it here and hope yours is a similar experience.
I look forward to reading and enjoying your work. Be seein' ya!
