Red Red Rose

In velvet depth, a red, red rose,
Beneath the sun's soft, golden close.
Its petals spread, a fervent flare,
Against the sky, so vast, so bare.

A symbol of a love so bold,
In scarlet hues, its stories told.
Not in grand halls, but fields wide,
Where silent promises reside.

Through seasons' shift and time's slow dance,
It stands in bloom, in vibrant stance.
A beacon for those who dare to dream,
Of love that flows like a gentle stream.

In every petal, a tale unfurls,
Of passion's power, as day unfurls.
A red, red rose, in simple grace,
Holds the essence of love's embrace.
