Rose Requiem

In the velvet darkness, a woman's face emerges, a canvas of serene beauty. Her lips, a deep crimson, whisper secrets to the shadows. The roses, like sentinels of passion, guard her countenance, their petals unfolding like the pages of a forbidden book. As her eyes remain closed, her soul converses with the flowers, exchanging tales of love, loss, and longing. The red roses, vibrant against the monochrome backdrop, symbolize the fiery essence of her being, a flame that burns bright and unwavering. In this tableau, she is both the rose and the keeper, a guardian of the mysteries that lie within. The world around her fades, leaving only the gentle dance of light and shadow, a chiaroscuro that underscores the beauty and the melancholy of her reverie.
