The Last Rose

Even when the garden is wintered over, your beauty is still all I see

 

The Last Rose

 

In the garden of my dreams

Fluid as the sweet air flows

Springtime fragrance fills my scene

On the wind, with brilliant glow

 

As my eyes do witness free

Beauty forms of wishes true

Blooms of colored tapestries

Loveliness I find in you

 

Petals cling upon the stem

Throughout summer’s sunny cheer

Loveliness is soon to end

Blooms will slowly disappear

  

Autumn tends my garden fair

Longing for their wanted sleep

Till the time that we can share

Precious beauty we so reap

 

One remains of perfect sight

Softness lends its fertile grow

In my eyes does shine a light

Beauty that I’ve come to know

 

Even in the winter’s chill

Perfect petals stand to see

Love within my heart does fill

One last rose, you are to me

Amazing picture.
One remains of perfect sight
Softness lends its fertile grow

Your poem is petal soft. The rose has such connotations of beauty but you have written of it anew as the last remaining one- unsurpassed in love. Another gorgeous allusion.

Thanks so much Blue. the roses in my garden are blooming now and their fragrance is heavenly and their beauty unsurpassed. (unless I read one of your beautiful poems)
