kiss from a rose*
Soft and caressing
Are the petals you adorn,
You are so beautiful
But when I say it you only scorn,
Your smooth and sweet
And your smell is breathtaking,
But as you get deeper
Your strength is earth shaking,
Thin and slender
Yet mottled by thorns,
It is you who are miraculous
And it was how you were born.
A soft kiss I place upon you
Only a peck
Sweet, and smooth
