Overwhelmed by roses
each bloom an explosion
of tender petals
each bloom an explosion
of tender petals
sensuous curves
soft recesses
deep with color.
deep with color.
Bloom upon bloom,
some shy
tinted shadow-blue
hiding behind siblings,
while others bold and haughty
push forward
to wear sunlight like an accessory
gilding themselves
with gold sunsets
and morning lavender.

Overwhelmed by roses
without focal reference,
each detail
demanding top preference.
The eye wanders
the heart follows
and is lost in beauty.
