Rose Ecstasy
Reflection
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.
