Rose Requiem
Reflection
In slumber, she is cradled by crimson petals,
A serene visage, a porcelain doll's gentle settle.
Red roses encircle, a passionate, floral sigh,
As if love itself had wrapped her in its tender lie.
Her lips, a vibrant red, a flush of life's warm kiss,
Contrast with skin as pale as alabaster's gentle wish.
The roses, dark and mysterious, a symbol of the heart,
A labyrinth of emotions, where love and pain never depart.
In this tableau, she is the epitome of beauty and rest,
A fleeting moment captured, forever etched in the breast.
The roses, like memories, surround her, a bittersweet refrain,
A reminder of love's beauty, and its transient, fading strain.
In the stillness, her beauty shines, a beacon in the night,
A guiding light that beckons, a gentle, loving sight.
