Rose Ecstasy

In the shadow, she rises, a vision of beauty and pain, With a red rose in her hair, a symbol of love's sweet refrain. Her eyes closed, her face upturned, she drinks in the light, A moment of transcendence, a fleeting, pure delight. The darkness surrounds her, a mysterious, velvet shroud, Yet, she glows, a radiant being, in a world avowed. The rose, a fiery gem, in her dark, luscious hair, A contrast of light and shadow, a beauty beyond compare. Her lips, a crimson promise, inviting and sweet, A whispered secret, a lover's kiss, a heart that skips a beat. In this moment, she is free, unencumbered and light, A fleeting glimpse of ecstasy, a rose in the night.
