Your grace vibrancy your hues <br />The fragrance of your honey drips <br />Inviting lure your petal lips! <br />I love you dear you hear red rose? <br />How could I dislike you leave forlorn? <br />For those thorns under your leaves alone!<br /><br />Kesav Venkat Easwaran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-dear-red-rose/
