Tales of a Red Rose

Look at me

and you’ll see

Love, hope, and faith

all running free

My stunning crimson hue

Such as a butterfly it attracts you

A tone just like the blushing red cheeks

Of a love oh so new

And with my powerful red tone

Showing the strength of love that's just like a stone

After all, red is the colour of love and power

It’s eminently known

My sharp prickling thorns

Only beautify and Adorn

By making me few and far between

While they also Give caution and Warn

And with me too be prudent

Because in hurt too I’m fluent

Love and maim, both my teachers

I too am their student

My captivating scent

Oozes a sense of warmth and content

Be close or at a distance

It’s forever present
