A Dozen Roses

A dozen roses
 petals falling away
 one by one,
crimson red burgundies fading
 Cleopatra longing in seduction
 Anthony succumbing with every 
  touch at I love you;
fading red to gentle pinks
 reverent grace and innocence
 calling out to you,
a single white rose in purity
 Adonis wounded in love pursuit
 Aphrodite rushing to his side,
 set aside to silently speak
  here I am, just for you.
