roses, you carry different tones
the last time I got hold of you
drove me everyday to sniff you
fascinated? Of course, so engrossed
with your tulips for they seem
to restore my innocence
they give my lips a shade of red,
which influence me
to utter mutual respect
now, I hold you no more
the ginger petals are now
scattered on the ground
but your enchanting scent
still stays behind,
and though the hue is
something beyond my eyelids;
I know that when you wilt
your fragrance will remain as is
