Something sprouted during my English exam and this is the result. I'm not even sure if anyone'll find this half-poem, half-essay thing interesting, since it isn't even logical to begin with (aka I didn't check the meaning of the roses and made things up myself, which are not that far from the truth, but not correct either, cos I'm a lost cause, and I refuse to believe that no colouration of roses means 'rejection'). Just spoil me for a bit, okay? ^^ Also, this was supposed to be a one-sided affair from Japan's side, but I feel like I've turned it into a two-sided one towards the end, I'm not sure if anyone can point that out. It doesn't really matter anyway. Just enjoy, and I love reviews.
I will send you a red rose
on our anniversary
Just like years ago,
when I came to your doorsteps
with a bunch of scarlet roses
as red as the sun on your flag
and the flushed look on your face,
as you turned away, your hair swayed in the cool afternoon breeze
A careless thorn touched your porcelain skin
Drops of crimson,
like budding flowers that sprouted from the earth
could not impure your virginity
You are like a red rose, waiting to be discovered.
I've found you.
I will send you a white rose
as white as your untainted soul
I will dethorn the stem
and cut the leaves
And I will send you the only rose
standing upright and proud
Like the noble you,
never bend under others' hands
You are pure like the white rose you are
that one that blooms at dawn
When morning dew glitters on the leaves
Fresh
and innocent
You everlast.
I will send you a pink rose
shy like your slightly curved lips
I will pin it on your chest
I will sprinkle the petals on your hair
Your cheek are pink
when you giggle
And you look just like a rose
when you say: "Thank you"
A shy rose
secretive and beautiful
just like you.
I will send you a yellow rose
the golden colour of the sun
so bright it flashes on and off in my eyes
Like the flower after which you are named
I will give you a yellow rose
as the sun goes down the mountains
Your face shines when you hold the flower in your hands
your smile radiates, challenging sunlight
as your tears fall
Because I know that you know
we are just not meant to be.
Thanks for the red roses that started it all
Thanks for the white rose that I know I'll never deserve
Thanks for the pink rose that gave me hope
Thanks for the yellow rose that crushed my dreams
and carried it away
Flowers all have withered
but they remain,full- bloomed, in my chest
I am forever drowned in your kindness
So I will start it all over again
I will send you a blue rose
I will selfishly plant a blue rose in your eyes
And may it never fades away.
You sent me a blue rose
blue as the never-ending love
that you had planted in you
in me
As them roses grow under my dark grey sky
They are always as blue as yours.
I will show you the blue roses budding gloriously in the garden
among the reds, whites, pinks and yellows
You pluck each of them
Five roses in your hand
like a kaleidoscope
when you kiss the flowers
behind my back
kisses that are too soft
like a wind caressing silky petals.
And you will show me the roses planted in you
blue
like the love you have for me
like eternal waves crashing to the shore
like the summer sky glowing in our eyes.
I will reach for a red rose
and give it to you
Let's restart this, shall we?
