All too common
Is the Red Rose
Never to be
An impossibility
Unlike the fabled blue rose
That no one's ever seen
Even so, the beauty of a rose is told
Through the skin of an apple
When one is hungry
Or the red of a lover's lips
Through years apart
Such simple thoughts separate the two
From impossibility and novelty
For a blue rose is something you'll never see
And a red rose is something you'll never live without
Because the same red on the petals of the rose
Is the same red that runs through our blood
