Bud and the Rose!
Posted in Musings, Nature, Poems on 03/11/2011 03:55 pm by Gauri KanyalkarHe gave me a pretty one
And I asked for another
Why, I asked myself then
No reply sounds in my ear
Did its snugness allure me?
Or its deep red hues entice
Or that the beauty of one
Would just not suffice?
Did the petals’ smoothness
Imply the bloom to come?
And the thorns speak of pain
Ushering love that’s unsung
He kept them all in bunches
Well trimmed stems green
Nature’s temptation scarlet
Flooding my heart’s brim
A week has passed between
The charm has withered not
Now those two on my desk sit,
Blossoming their heart out!!
