..............

Twelve red ones, rich, full and just right

the twigs cut, thorns removed

deft hands tie them in a bunch; the last one; for her


She’ll never get them, but still they’re made

unsurpassed beauty they hold

beauty, sure to wither away with the distance


It’s the day, when lovers love, others try

a bunch falls short, a ‘voice’ pleads

but this was for her, how would he part


He hands it over, the ‘voice’ is ecstatic

did he do her wrong, the only gift for her?

saddened he returns to his den


His eyes catch a red; untouched, yet thornless

the richest; the fullest; the brightest

The best still lay there, waiting, for him to give to her

Have you left it open to the viewers, leaving it to them, providing some space for one's imagination, or is it something else?

*Or does it signify something else?
