Rose Requiem
Reflection
In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
a maiden stands, entwined with roses gray.
Her visage, pale as alabaster bright,
reflects the moon's gentle, ghostly light.
The red roses, like passionate hearts that bleed,
encircle her, a floral, fervent creed.
Her eyes, closed in rapture or in pain,
invite the viewer to join her mystic refrain.
The wind whispers secrets, as her hair flows free,
a dance of darkness, wild and carefree.
In this chiaroscuro, where light and dark entwine,
the maiden's beauty is a transcendent shrine.
A symbol of love, of loss, of memory and dreams,
she stands, a vision, where the heart's deepest themes
are woven into the fabric of the night,
a rose requiem, a beauty, a haunting sight.
