PETAL of LOVE

PETAL of LOVE

Oh, Petal of Love…

Yawning life from the rose’s womb bud,

Opening velvet arms of crimson passion
Taunting me to inhale your sensual magestry.

Ah…I caress the softness of your succulent skin
Pressing my wrinkled, tired cheek to your Petal.

Wishing I were once more young and handsome
Able to pluck you free of the rose’s protective thorns.

You resist my ancient advance,
For you seek Love of your kind, your own time...
A Love sympathetic to youth and perfumed with vitality
While what I offer is lost in Time’s deadly desiccation.

I still touch your velvet sheen, longing to be of you.

I stroke your Petal of Love wishfully,
Begging the heavens to return my youth
So I might consummate your bud.

But your thorns warn me away.
So I wait and honor you with words
Until the day when we embrace...


I am forever yours, My Darling, the Thorns of the Rose,

Cyrano!
Anderson-McKenzie
