FLOWER POWER



FLOWER POWER


A single red rose

equals a romantic
story untold


a bouquet of twelve

equals a relationship
to respect, reflect, never forget


this floral gift

full of promises
with no guarantees


that will seek to

wake up your senses,
shake up your dreams


be careful though

as you trim the stems
before displaying in your best vase


be careful of those

thorns that will
unfold histories


symbols of romance;

of love and pain,
are embedded within


their beauty

will keep you hooked
into their romantic illusions


wars are lost and won

blood is shed
love is gained

(15th poem for NaPoWriMo)
