' UPON THE TILTING OF A ROSE
There be an air of sensuality, to the tilting of a Rose;
young stems curving gracefully.......as they maturate,
so they may support the blossom of their better half,
in glorious rapture by the fresh mist...of the new day
And the glow in the after.....of this eye-captive event,
be likened to a pink-warm shine, washing the faces
of lovers, as they ensconce.....in juxtaposed nirvana;
until woman wraps her curves around man's desire.
The beauty of a Rose, is fully realised through virility;
its stem, the backbone, and prowess to her majesty.
No thrust of effloresence....be so beautiful to behold,
as the amorous climax.......upon the tilting of a Rose.

Im a fanatic on roses, always like to see how others persive what they believe to be the essence of a rose, would you mind reading my one ' A single Stemmed Rose' your comment would be much appreciated and this is indeed a beautiful write on the timeless wonder we call a rose.
Enjoyed this very much, it shows the tender side of mother nature, and how soft and delicate a rose can age with its perfection.... Very nice picture you have painted here of a life in comparison to a woman...... Nicely done once again! !
Your idea of comparison of the rose to a woman not only poetic but very endearing my friend.This poem as delicate as a fresh rose bud ready to bloom.A very much enjoyed piece of art.
a rose is always a rose
even if it tilts
its a rose
even if deflowered
its a rose
that scent of a FLOWER

'Juxtaposed nirvana...' What a delicious phrase! I loved the comparison of this piece..the rose to the tilting woman. It is beautiful, soft, and yet sensual at the same time.

The srength of the stem holding the delicate darling
The color vigor and grace - all go hand in hand
A Tilt of the Rose makes no noice
Still the music is out in air
String of violin at its best place.
The melody in the poem is so great
Read and read and read...
It has become so dear....
Thank you dear writer.

The season of roses has touched you Frank, and that tilt of the rose.Lucky lady for whom is that rose held.10
