Rose Requiem
Reflection
In slumber, she is surrounded by the velvet kiss of red roses,
their petals a gentle caress on her porcelain skin.
The shadows dance upon her face, a chiaroscuro of dreams,
where darkness and light entwine like the thorns and blooms.
Her lips, a crimson whisper, invite the night to stay,
as she breathes in the perfume of the flowers' sweet decay.
In this serene tableau, beauty and melancholy converge,
a poignant reminder of life's fleeting, delicate verge.
The roses, like guardians of her rest, watch over her repose,
their deep red hue a symbol of passion's enduring throes.
In the stillness, her spirit finds a peaceful nest,
cradled by the softness of the roses' gentle unrest.
As the light whispers secrets in her ear, she stirs not,
lost in a world where time stands still, and love is forever caught.
In this moment, she is free, her heart unshackled and light,
bathed in the soft luminescence of the roses' gentle light.
