Blue Rose

Blue rose of wonders, love incarnate,
As blue as the placid sky,
As deep as the waters singing -
You bring forth a melody of promises,
Transcending all of my world -
My heart, my life and my being.


"Choose your love. Love your choice."
These words so soft yet so strong,
Bearing magic so unspeakable,
Emanating waves so euphoric,
Engraved on this embodiment of my love,
And oh... All I can think of is you only.


We've traveled through this journey called life -
A symphony of happiness,
An abrupt cadence of flowing tears,
And how long has it been since that day -
When my world was obliterated,
Scarred by none other than you?


In the rain, tears kiss my cheeks -
A vivid facade of raindrops, indeed.
I hide my true feelings for you,
Yet as paradoxical as the blue rose,
I have been longing to see you...
I have been craving for your presence...


Since time immemorial have I declared -
That you can only be mine,
That you alone can have my universe,
For if I lose you, my only song,
Life is but a monotonous voice,
An inanimate flower, eternally asleep.


So, may you be my blue rose,
That I may grasp myself again,
After being lost in the past.
With your life-changing smile,
I can finally return to the real present,
And soar up the skies with you.
