Scarlet
Shall I compare Thee to a rose, so elegant and still
The green petals sprinkled in water droplets exaggerating your elegance
Scarlet, my sweet scarlet, your hair flows gently, cascading down like tears on ones cheek
Your beauty, meant not to be disturbed but to be caressed and meticulously cared for,
Isolated if not admired or cherished by me and only me
Your mind succeeds what most might envision it as but implements
the very components of your heart
