TO ROSES AND CARNATIONS

Oh! how much beauty behold a bunch of roses and carnations,

 Each petal bestowing gratuitously peace and elation

Suffusing love with promises of immortal camaraderie

Entrapping life, soul, and heart with sulphonal's trickery,

Sharing all that is so joyous ,so loving ,so peaceful

Sponging the tears and all that is so frightening, so hateful, so painful,

Three roses and three carnations metamorphosising the mere entity of life,

Their gratifying essence filling the dark and deep  recesses of heart, soul, and life,

The sweet and sprightly fragrance attributing new significance to life,

 Unfolding love light and gaiety in its impetuous stride

Immortelle petals pledging undying love and mirth,

Touching life with bliss and  a yearning for another birth.
