A flame of Red Rose

A flame of rose, Red rose.
Yielding, exploring passions,
Scalding, burning, warming..
Hearts everywhere.
Yet a prick, another sharp prick
A cherry atop a fork.


The flame surrounds you.
Wash you down as its,
Sweet scented breath engulfs you.
A rose tinted world- Rosy eyed vision.
Red love, Red desires, Red passions..
Red.
Snaring, gnawing at the senses.
A blind mind, a blind heart.

Then a raw rosy wound.
A hurt in the heart.
Consuming pain and anguish.
Descending of a
Red of black darkness.


A flame so strong?
Or
An emotion so weak?

Love.
The flaming emotion.
A red of heart. Blood red
Creeps on to us…
To be tamed, to be detained.
Yet it wants to be nourished.
To be treasured, to be unspoiled.
Not to be kept and castoff
As a flaring of senses, of lust and mind.

As Love
A grasp of heart,
A soft flowing warm red.
Caressing, cajoling and nurturing.
An emotion soaked in happiness and pain.
A Red rose with a shrill spike.

  1. when I started reading I felt it would be a lovely romantic poem....but gradually I found many more feelings rooted inside it filled with emotion and pain. It has a story I know and frankly it reminded me of some stories....Thanks for posting it!

  2. Hi Yashomana,

    I always love what you write. This poem is brilliantly written as well. I like the paradox of Love seeking nourishment in our heart. Yet, it is love that causes us so much pain.

    Very well done. Keep up the good job. Looking forward to many more poems and prose from you.

    Regards,
    Soumitra Paul,
    An ardent fan!
