Petals, plucked by "he loves me"s and "he loves me not"s, Roses, the symbol of perfect love and eternal beauty. Such a bright vermillion, matching Such a dulcet aroma with Such a charismatic lust Emerging from layers of velvet. Maiden's lips resemble it so, as if Nature graced it with its own paintbrush. Drops of dainty words and heavenly sighs escape like Drops of dew in the calm of light at dawn. A scent of eros romance Rings around her neck and wrists, able to Entrance any passersby. Beauty of those able to challenge Aphrodite, Whom wishes to lacerate gradually, Fueled by hatred and jealousy. Fair, both skin and hair. Poise as an angel with a Face to match. Eyes say otherwise, however. Yes, she is a rose, but Even roses have thorns.

Even Roses Have Thorns
Petals, plucked by "he loves me"s and "he loves me not"s, Roses, the symbol of perfect love and eternal beauty. Such a bright vermillion, matching Such a dulcet aroma with Such a charismatic lust Emerging from layers of velvet. Maiden's lips resemble it so, as if Nature graced it with its own paintbrush. Drops of dainty words and heavenly sighs escape like Drops of dew in the calm of light at dawn. A scent of eros romance Rings around her neck and wrists, able to Entrance any passersby. Beauty of those able to challenge Aphrodite, Whom wishes to lacerate gradually, Fueled by hatred and jealousy. Fair, both skin and hair. Poise as an angel with a Face to match. Eyes say otherwise, however. Yes, she is a rose, but Even roses have thorns.
Alan Brown, thank you for teaching me a new word: vermillion.
