Wild Rose Cherished

Wild Rose Cherished

Emerging from moist soil, a solitary seed

Sinewy woody shank, nubile thorns take form

Held in the arms of a light breeze, tiny leaves dance

Her beauty hidden

Slender hip, a tightly wound promise

Growth denied, an old Oak casts shadows

Reaching for sunbeams, dreams unfulfilled

Her beauty forestalled

Peers bloom, their petals flourishing with life

Persistent is the Oak, torment diminishing spirit

Bud withering, love abrogated by decree

Her beauty denied

Summer sun, a new arc is cast

First embrace, beams nurture the soul

Life springs anew, sipping sweet rays

Her beauty thrives

Violet petals part, a solitary flower embraced

Glowing with love, the new day commences

Warmth invigorates, begging your touch

Her beauty realised

Walking along a garden path, her hand I gently hold

Peering into her eyes, her lips I tenderly kiss

Intoxicating her presence, inspiring her essence

 Her beauty cherished
