Rose Requiem

In the shadow of elegance, a rose blooms in darkness, A symbol of passion, a heart that still yearns. The red rose, a flame that burns with silent fire, A beauty that transcends, a soul's deepest desire. With eyes closed, she savors the moment's peace, A fleeting calm, a respite from life's wild release. The red lips, a promise of love's sweet pain, A delicate balance 'twixt joy and sorrow's refrain. The earring's pearl, a tear that's dried, A memory of love that's been, a heart that's tried. In this portrait, a story unfolds, Of love, loss, and longing, a heart that's told. The rose, a metaphor for life's fragile dance, A delicate balance 'twixt chance and romance.
