A Flower Is A Rose Is A Flower Poem by Val Brooklyn Rogers

There my dear
Gentle bender of my hearts light
We both saw one another true
I saw in you a REGAL BLUE
WE both saw a FLUENT brew
You are a majestic ROSE
And no one knows
Disguised as a flower
I read every VELVET petal.
A secret book
A luminescent LOVE story.
Your FLORAL mannerisms are so
Comely and fluid.
Your spirit is electrically warm
Tender is the LIFE.
Then at that time does DEATH
Extend its harm?
And at the end of life it does
Not PRETEND,
A FLOWER IS STILL A FLOWER AT THE
END IT'S A ROSE STILL A FLOWER
