Etruscan Rose

Etruscan rose
a purpled blue,
I write a melody for you
Etruscan rose
magenta  shade,
for you this pollonaise 
is played.

Note like petals
spiral down
through Etruria
and "round
ancient ruins
of desire
falling on your
funeral pyre.

where your fragile form
in flames
departed .....
just your heart remains

Amphora ,
classic in design
Etruscan roses there 
entwine. to guard
your heart
forevermore,
as symphonies
and petals
soar.
