Rose Requiem

In twilight's hush, where shadows dance and play, A maiden lies, surrounded by roses' sway, Her lips, a crimson whisper, a promise unsealed, As petals enfold her, a gentle, loving yield. Her eyes, closed to the world, yet open to the soul, Drink in the beauty, making her heart whole, The roses, like sentinels of love and pain, Stand guard, a testament to life's sweet, lingering refrain. In this still moment, time stands still, and breath is caught, As the roses' beauty, and her own, are forever brought, Together in a dance, of love, loss, and release, A requiem for the heart, a moment's sacred peace. In the silence, her spirit takes flight, Among the roses, where love and beauty ignite, A fusion of the self, with the world's delight, A transcendence, where the heart finds its light.
