Rose petals
Soft and full
Delicate scent entices
Deep red hue of blood
Masking pink center
Fingertips caressing
Chasing traces of dew
Trailing trickles of moisture
Across lips eager to taste
Breathing deeply
Drawing close to the bloom
Unafraid of thorns
Craving
Longing
To crawl inside
To know
The heart of a rose
