Voices Silently Speak
The Velvet Rose

by Lena Rai
Source:
Voices Silently Speak (2005), p. 30

A velvet rose where the vines have crossed
Such beauty betrays at its own cost
The petals seem to dance to the heart's eye
As its color finds passion far from shy
How real to seem and deep it gets
To feel such life as it only lets
The details creep to your most hidden treasure
Thoughts of such bring withheld pleasure
To a mind's eye only creativity lies awake
To those understood love is at stake
Receiving such an image by gift or mistake
The brought up feelings are such a blunder
To finally cause an emotional wonder
What feeling suppress deep within
Glancing across situations begin
