Rosa
Rosa armed with her sharp prickles
and candied petals
Alluring as she sways with the rhythm of the wind
Her sweet scent intoxicating
Blushing with color
Even as she prunes savor her delicate frame
Adore her fallen petals
Keep her safe
Lay her naked on your bed stripped away from her prickles to bring back that something you've lost
Hold her in your hands
As you settle into your journey to the unknown
She will be your background of beauty
Never to wither and die in the minds of those who love you
Rosa
She has always been more then just a rose
and candied petals
Alluring as she sways with the rhythm of the wind
Her sweet scent intoxicating
Blushing with color
Even as she prunes savor her delicate frame
Adore her fallen petals
Keep her safe
Lay her naked on your bed stripped away from her prickles to bring back that something you've lost
Hold her in your hands
As you settle into your journey to the unknown
She will be your background of beauty
Never to wither and die in the minds of those who love you
Rosa
She has always been more then just a rose

An infinite mirrored regression of all of the women who represent the fantasies of temporary lovers.....all the way back in time. How many women have satisfied and yet go unnamed? Here one woman stands for them all. Poignant, JG.

G,
i will start with this one. Rosa, if i am
not wrong is 'Rose' in italian? not sure.
i always loved that one, more than rose.
'surfer rosa' happens to be one of my
favourite albums. so figures.
i hope you don't mind taking your poem apart.
"Rosa armed with her sharp prickles
and candied petals
Alluring as she sways with the rhythm of the wind
Her sweet scent intoxicating
Blushing with color
[after an eon, saw the usage of ‘prickle’. usually i see the use of the short variant sans the ‘le’.immensely loved the mating of ‘blush’ with ‘colour’.]
Even as she prunes savor her delicate frame
Adore her fallen petals
Keep her safe
Lay her naked on your bed striped away from her prickles to bring back that something you've lost
[effortless bravado.:]i believe ‘striped’ should ‘stripped’. L4 is hauntingly beautiful. it tugs and turns. well done.]
Hold her in your hands
As you settle into your journey to the unknown
She will be your background of beauty
Never to wither and die in the minds of those who love you
Rosa
She has always been more then just a rose
[wow. effortless and beautiful. love the philosophical undertone here. almost
chaste and yet profound.
‘background of beauty’ is superlative. very well done.
the last line sums it all up. lack of punctuation works well, keep it minimal and
meaningful. some very fine moments created here.
immensely loved the extended metaphor.
this is a winner, G.
i guess i am hooked finally. would be frequenting your space a lot more in future.

How beautifully metaphorical. I was enchanted by this poem, Rosa is so fragile, yet has a certain strength about her. Good job. xoxo
