A Rose, Not a Rose by martin rainbowmaker

A ROSE, NOT A ROSE

“A ROSE
is a ROSE is a ROSE”
is EROS.
Aroma of amor,
perfume so refined
to never be defined
to breathe it is divine.
In Tao essence
a ROSE is not
‘A ROSE’
or any other name
can ever quite contain
the sweetness still remains.

Mindful if you grasp,
the bloom becomes a rasp.
The petals you adore
but if you grasp for more
a ROSE become

s a SORE.

A ROSE is
not a rose,
is something no one knows.
Can never be defined
especially with a mind
aroma so refined
essence of divine.
