Happy Rose Day Poem by Prabir Gayen

Happy Rose Day
*******
A rose is not a rose only,
It is full of thorns and agony,
Pain is ever trenchant and sharp,
Beauty comes in front to beguile.

A rose is a deceiving elf,
It attracts and hides and invites,
Hiding it attract towards it,
A rose is a thorn in disguise.

Happy rose day dear from my heart,
Without thorn take my love as gift,
Take my fragrance without my self,
Let me stay away from plucking.

Plucking a rose is violence,
Love is not pointless and vengeance,
Your rosy hue is tantalising,
It is illusive and maudlin.

Happy rose day O dear Rose hip!
Thy petals are deep with sweet juice,
Enough to push me off my Sense,
Let your thorn be your guiding prince.

Happy rose day O my sweetheart!
Thou art a rose in the Shaw of my Being,
With thy waving hue life becomes new,
Thorns give pain to feel the Bone- yard.

A rose is not a rose only,
It is both light and shade combined,
It is pervasion of body-mind,
Rose is a tune of love and lore.
