the lonely red rose

a red rose is a rose with reason
even the name of her reveals so much
petals shine like the colour of soft lipstick
revealing beauty

a confident dancing of petals
speaks from her very centre
standing upright
reminding us of the red sky at night

boldly beautiful, satin soft in nature
a red rose is a rose with reason
she is the colour red
truly what do you expect?
from a sky of petals closely connected
a beautiful bud of love, tenderness and sincerity

she is also passionate
like the intense flamed fire on winters day
boldly burning
standing on the grass
no means of escape or meeting of desires

she cannot travel or take a walk
sadly stuck still
waiting for a kindly man to pluck her from the ground
placing petals near to his heart

a red rose is beautiful
stands still on the ground
no ability to walk out and reach
meet her desires
so she just waits
hoping one day to receive a new home
from a kindly man
so she can then plant a kiss on his cheek
