Yavi. The Romantic. Speaks.

 


(A lone voice whispers)



Like a red rose 



I always climb high to the reach brightest of lights



Surging in all directions

Such is the driving thirst 



Searching in complete expectation 

In harsh conflicts and dangerous lands



Conquering each

Whatever comes first



I try to climb past all the watching marching bands

Stood in their many well-dressed lines



And like the red rose



I also grow in silence

Like the so very righteous 



Only finally announcing my inner beauty to those worthy



Of my time

Trust and loyalty



And finally like one of those rare and precious 

Virginal Red Roses of Cairo 



One of the most beautiful standard-bearers of all known flowers



I also have exquisite sensuous needs that must be deliciously deflowered 



So are you willing to stand in the pale moonlight



And let my thorns gently caress your inner third eye



As your soul salivates quietly and cries 

For a new form of seduction 



As we hand in hand 

Go to war



Challenging the world like it was a Francis Ford Coppola
