Red Rose And Other Poems

My red rose for you ~
unable to bowdlerize
thorns ~ handle with care

Grey tone ~ of evening
twilight ~ the dying sun left
hue of cloudy sky ~ undyed

The dew / part of night /
yet / appertain to / day's
rosy petal

Fall of dusk ~ from the
cloudy sky ~ flight of a
lonely crow

Recalling the evening ~
when you filled the space ~
with your loving touch ~ of
fingers ~ during splendid
walk ~ at city's esplanade
