Breath of a Rose

Is there no breath in a glowing rose's dream

After the night has scattered

None so fair warms a heart it seems

Or equals a breath

That matters

When the night is over in a golden sense

Climbing up above the sea

Would you care or take offense

If a dreaming rose

Could no longer breathe

What follows until the last light shines

Within all your memories

Inside small spaces are you so inclined

To be the dreaming rose

That still breathes

Do you dream willingly, continuing to bloom

After the night has scattered

As you take each breath do you presume

That which warms your heart

To be what matters

Interesting, for sure. A rose dreaming is certainly a unique image, and yet, it makes sense. As with all your poems, the imagery is spellbinding. However, I feel your urge to rhyme in this poem has disrupted the flow somewhat. That doesn't detract from the poem, though. Great work!

You know how much I enjoy rhyming in poetry,
and you’ve done a fine job with this wonderfully
mesmerizing write…Nice one Neva…

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Poetic genius, flows perfectly with grammatical perfection. the imagery lends itself to times past and times forgotten almost, well written and well done.

The sweet loving breath of your heart permeates this beautiful poem. Exquisite (((❤)))

Do you dare to bloom so the world can see you? Do you dare to stand out in the garden so others will take notice? This is an inspirational call to anyone who thinks they can't make a difference.
