The dark red rose <br />Danced hauntingly <br />On the dark green water <br />It was beautiful <br />To behold <br />The faired haired girl <br />Plucked the rose from the sea <br />Gently drew an aroma from the rose <br />It was beautiful <br />To behold <br />A fair haired woman <br />Took the rose from the girl <br />And spread the petals in the sand <br />It was beautiful <br />To behold <br />The woman sprinkled ash from an urn <br />On the petals of the dark red rose <br />They both kissed the petals <br />That lay in the white sand <br />It was beautiful <br />To behold <br /> <br />Repost Series 2006<br /><br />allan james saywell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beauty-28/
