As roses cling to the vines
Mysterious strangers
Are finding comfort within
The confines of their beings
Lonely souls-
Looking for love
For one night
Wanting to be wanted
Before daylight...
Come morning
Dew upon the roses

Blue Rose...like a flush of love
with never truly unraveled mystery
...possible now...for eternal life
of your great poem and pic...that
compliments the words...
Thank you Deborah, for sharing
your verse.
If one is only contemplating "one night," I don't think that it's, "looking for love." Love takes a lot longer and requires much more commitment than having one nighters with strangers just to fill some need that is not necessarily love even though it is often thought to be so. Once we dismiss the "love" part, life becomes much easier and we began to love ourselves for what we are, and not how others see us.
Perfect poetry for the blue rose, my friend. God, I have been in that same situation so many times. I truly believe that the many one night love affairs (for there was love given and taken from each other) is what got me through the very hard times. This, to me, is a special poem.
The Wholly Book of Exodus is humorous adult literature that features adult language, situations and content. It is the companion book of Jay Dubya's The Wholly Book of Genesis that satires the entire first book of the Bible.
The Wholly Book
In a post-coup America, an Illinois farm boy is drawn into the resistance by his brother's death. Captured, he is given a choice: betray his friends, or the girl he loves will be lobotomized.

The rose represents so many things... here it represents
the feelings you have conveyed as though teardrops sit
upon it...
