Rose Requiem
Reflection
In slumber, she is surrounded by the velvet kiss of red roses,
their petals a gentle caress on her skin so fair.
Her lips, a crimson whisper, invite the night's dark sighs,
while her dark tresses flow like shadows, a mysterious lair.
The roses, like rubies, burn with a fierce, inner light,
illuminating the contours of her serene, moonlit face.
In this tableau of beauty, death and life entwine,
where the beauty of mortality is made divine.
Her closed eyes, a promise of secrets untold,
her lips, a tale of passion, forever to be told.
The roses, a symbol of love's fierce, wild might,
swirl around her, a dance of dark, velvet night.
In this stillness, a story unfolds, of love, loss, and the beauty that remains,
a testament to the power of the human heart's deepest refrains.
