The lotus stays surrounded by water
and is so cool
doesn't sweat
so why should it need a bath
can you tell
the Rose is to the West
what lotus is to East
the roses smell so sweet
upon collars coats of leaders worldwide
and on wedding bells and bouquets
as also on biers
roses preside
they spread their perfume
broad and wide
yet roses never die
in books of history too
when as book marks
roses live as they do
then they still come back to life
this how I wish all know and knew
The redness of blood exudes
as memories flash back
as hearts hasten to say
my love I'm back
Lotuses are calm and serene
but rose is of all flowers
a majestic Queen
so spake Shakespeare too
call rose by any name
it will smell as sweet as you.
let's combine and share
roses live in fresh air
lotus survive in ponds
but die
when they become shy
Rose western symbol
Lotus for EAST…. Roses for WEST
the rose is to the West
what lotus is to East
the roses smell so sweet
upon collars coats of leaders worldwide
and on wedding bells and bouquets
as also on biers
roses preside
they spread their perfume
broad and wide
yet roses never die
in books of history too
when as book marks
roses live as they do
then they still come back to life
this how I wish all knows and knew
the redness of blood exudes
as memories flash back
as hearts hasten to say
my love I'm back
call rose by any name
it will smell as sweet as you.
let's combine and share
roses live in fresh air
lotus survive in ponds
but die
when they become shy

Rose and Lotus East and West On dry, in wet smell the sweet around, surrounded by its beauty simply, stunningly, smartly, naturally without flirty through the fresh air through the nasal sense in fair O it's lovely can make love between the heart, can make closer magnet without any crush.......................////
