A Rose Grows In The Night

A rose grows in the night
Lit beneath the diamond lights
Petals smooth in silken magic
Blossom crimson shaded fabric
I touch the stem and thorns
Disappear from their tragic court
Scent regales the pollens nectar
That sings in childhood's laughter
Where smiles are like roses
That grow inside the night

i like this piece a lot. The images come forth vibrant against the night, lifting ones eyes to find great light.

Patrick --- as with the other I just read previous...you have a way of bringing out the light from the dark in your words...and this verse does that as with the other...you see the positive and negate the negative impulses...

Nice meter and imagery.

Minor edit: "Scent regales the [pollen's] nectar"

You really do have a knack with words and say a whole lot with so few. Very good indeed
