Fragrance of words

One doesn't need a rose to express their love

FRAGRANCE OF WORDS

Wrinkled, delicate, but most beautiful  

The petals of a flower appear,   

Soft as the touch of a wool    

Flowers are always dear.   

Trapped inside a book    

One preserves them for remembrance,   

Behold the beauty; have a look   

Also, pleasing is its fragrance.  

Many flowers, for different occasion 

Symbolise death and also passion,  

They bring joy to our hearts without any reason  

Everblooming they are, filled with compassion.  

Detached from the stem, petals lay above,

Does one need a rose to express their love?

Author's Note

My idea to write this poem is to appreciate the beauty of a flower and also to convey a message that one doesn't need a rose to express their love. No doubt flowers symbolise passion but that's not necessary to express the depths of love.
A flower's beauty is more when it is surrounded by its leaves and natural environment, not by plucking it to appreciate its beauty.

A bunch of 12 red roses (Israeli Gold Standard) this year at St Valentine's cost me £50 !!
They lasted 9 days in a vase - she told me. I think the flowers=romance scam has gone too far.
Words are much cheaper and of course more personal. Nicely done N.

Flowers - the most delicate and wondering art of nature.....
Let it stay to it's mother the nature, don't snatch those for describing your love then it may curse for it's peace that you distinguish!!
So deep you went Najam......Proud of u😊😊😊

This is so true. Flowers are beautiful and when given have a meaning. Now me personally, I would rather see the flowers in their natural environment not being plucked off and being wrapped just to die later and be thrown away. Flowers are alive and if you want to cherish them more. Just go to a forest and go for a walk and you will see many of them, more beautifully. This poem is beautiful and realistic. Thank you for making such heart touching poems ^^

My heart is blooming in joy when I read your words. Read my author's note, we have similar thoughts about flowers conserved in their natural environment.
I thank you very much for reading my poems. You have my greatest gratitude. ☺

This is absolutely beautiful. The delicacy in your expression, the tenderness and wisdom in your words, even the image and visual presentation make this piece shine. I love your message, but I love how you expressed it even more. True, flowers are beautiful, but true love is found in one's own heart, not in any material thing, whether it be man-made or from nature. I love how your final two lines illustrate that point perfectly ... they were absolutely brilliant.
My only quibble is your author's note: Though this piece follows the same rhyme scheme as a Shakespearean Sonnet, it doesn't use iambic pentameter, so I'm not sure if I'd consider this a Shakespearean Sonnet. It is, nevertheless, still a beutiful work, so for that, BRAVO!

nice one..Indeed words are more precious and convey a deeper meaning of love than flowers and yes.. the real love for flower's beauty s when one allows it to grow and not when one plucks it..
