~ My Beautiful Briar Rose ~
I've known so little concerning the thorn
But think the thorn a chrysalis
Serene, feral, intractable
But as time does moult away its bite
The eye and time do soon reveal
She, who was before, so highly prized
As if a star confined to the womb
Within a heathered meadow's bloom
There, inconspicuously,
Has grown my Love
In a guarded garden's glow
Incubating,
My beautiful briar rose...
Beautiful must hang
The gardens, from whence she came
I wonder where this oasis lay
O, to wander there in secret silence
To dance through the land that stirs her blood
To bring her home, to witness her glow
Perpetuated,
By a homecoming
Befitting a queen,
But with no pomp or circumstance
For none could dare, or even compare
To the heartbeat of one so rare,
No song or sun could ever truly expose
The triumph delivered to the heart of me
By my beautiful briar rose...

Hello Tony :)
This is such a truly BEAUTIFUL poem, I have just been sat musing on the words. The imagery of love blooming. The use of an English rose! A star in a womb! You have put so much love into this stunning write. So elegant in its nature as it delicately reads off ones lips. The birth of love and beauty poor out of every line. As always you inspire and shine with your masterclass in poetry so evidently displayed here ⭐️❤️ A keeper and one I will return to again and again :) hugs x

Wow!! What a great write Tony and poetry kudos to you for doing so.
And this just simply flows like a good wine and respectfully so, there is not a word out of place that doesn't beautifully dovetail together or forced in any place.
So neatly and precisely written from the heart, your heart.
And it's a big poetic heart my friend.
