'O Rose'

melt away some of your petals,

freeze the color of your sides,

forget the sunlight's hardships,

just count its blessings and let it shine,

love is yours,

why count the days of its life,

revive the touch you had,

save your breath for more strife,

dew is not to stay,

it will decay with winter's sun and die,

wait for some more days O Rose,

rays will be through soon and sun would again shine,

and when sun is back again,

then think of the love you have always adored,

and slowly melt away with the dew drops O Rose,

now is the time,

when we see the shine of the eyes,

when someone looks at beloved'sface,

you paint your color on his face,

and melt with love, a bit of sacrifice

and your fragnanace left alive...
