a red rose <br />casts a shadow <br />on a white <br />canvass <br /> <br />light strikes <br />on the body of <br />its redness <br />and the greenness of <br />its leaves <br /> <br />this red rose is <br />for you <br />give it the light <br />so i may cast <br />a shadow of myself <br />to you <br /> <br />when you touch <br />it <br />the rose begins <br />to live <br />another span of <br />love <br /> <br />it becomes an <br />inspiration of dreams <br />which are about <br />to die <br />of love that is <br />about to be <br />forgotten.<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-red-rose-3/
