The Mystical Rose

Image result for rosa mystica with roses


Strolling in the breezy desert,
Warren decreed: 
“Stop and smell the roses.”
Emily gave him a scornful stare.

Pedalling towards the oasis,
Warren repeated:
“Stop and smell the roses.”
Emily gave him a rageful stare.  

Hastily moving farthest from Warren,
Emily entered a burrow by mistake.
She groped in the dark,
Until she herself felt –it-. 

Searching for his mate,
Warren came in. 
Emily uttered:
“Stop and smell the roses.”

They both visioned;
Our Lady of the Roses,
The Incarnate Rose,
The Mystical Rose.
