The Shaded Rose

I was going to upload something, but my computer died for a few days, and now it's alive again! I honestly don't know as to how I survived the week with no computer, internet, printer... other electronical devices etc. etc.

But during this "blackout" time I discovered how much my life does depend on computers...I also discovered the inspiration to write poetry! (Which is really saying something since I SUCK! at poetry - seriously, it's not a pretty sight) But I managed to produce this dribble which I actually like... and yes before you ask the question - I do feel lonely.

- The Shaded Rose -

She blooms most beautifully,
Petals, a vivid lustful red
She reaches out articulately,
Yet on her lips, no light is shed.

Her companions grow and prosper
Whilst she remains in shade,
Her stem is tall and full of colour
Only darkness she is paid.

Sunlight filters through the leaves
and she hopes her day has come,
Yet petals 'tis the snow that sheathes
Vibrace alas undone.

Hands pluck others delicately,
In choice by beauty and nature,
Behold they leave gracefully,
Her quest had reached a failure.

One by one, her petals drop
As her companons receive caress
Beautiful, is she not?
'Tis her faith that she must test.

The others, they atill symbolize,
The grace and beauty of romance,
Yet there stays none the wise
Mocked, not spared a glance.

Finally the last petals falls
and she crumbles to the earth.
When will be her needed call,
To receive Aphrodites' mirth?

The ground littered with brown stain,
Of once red beauty from above,
She dies in hope to live again,
To share a virgin love.
