delicate little bloom,

Adds elegance to any room,

petals soft, and colored to fashion,

represents love and passion,

but, a mysterious, and dark flower,

a binding, enchanting power,

wicked, spiked thorns, to protect from many who wish to keep it.

beauty, with a dark secret.

Sweet smell, oh how I love it.

You can look, but don't touch it,

For it's barbed guardian's won't let anyone pass it's prickly gate,

the delicate beauty, that has a bite,

try as I might but I can't not like everything about this little warrior

this soft, fragrant,

Rose.
