ROSE

by Ndifreke George

ROSE,
You please my eyes
and melt my heart
Succulent like yellow petals

that’s the feeling from your touch

ROSE,
You’re the chord
that plays all the notes
of the music that rises

from the depth of my soul

ROSE,
The perfume of your being flaws the precious frankincense,
Your eyes penetrate deep
down into the privates of my heart.
ROSE,
I would give you my forever
if you were a person
And I would hide you in my vault
if you were a thing.
What are you, Rose?
