A single rose emerges
plants its indelible mark
on the corner of my eye.
I want to cut you off place
you on the surface of my
dreams caress your
you on the surface of my
dreams caress your
stem and smell the
fragrance that
secretes.
fragrance that
secretes.
I have
you
you
here
on the
bed
bed
ex-
tracting
tracting
leaves marked
like freckles
on your back.
There
upon
upon
The fresh
clean space
is your little
hill
blushing.
Your quint
essential
essential
silk
on my
lips
lips
drop-lets
of summer
rain
fall from
The petals.
Iplace you in a glass on my window-
sill. The young thorn pricks my finger
inserts beneath the skin reminding me
how to hold you honestly, tenderly.
I know your vibrant colour wont last
but beside it on the stem is an-
other bud to bloom.
