PASSION'S PUZZLE

So sweet and sad heaving bosom

She may shun him oh so handsome

Poor soul he fears himself go mad

Who pluck at way for her blossom

That torture to wavering lad

Heaving bosom so sweet and sad


The rose is red but that is why

Too many tears she cannot cry

And if perchance she takes to bed

For only there to lay and sigh

At verses written or just read

But that is why the rose is red

  1. Wow Gillena, what an inspiring website and such a different layout to mine.
    I bow to your experience and to your sighing red rose, distracting the lad with her heaving breast... {hugs}

  2. Gillena that was so good...the sweet bosom, so intoxicating for a lad who needs the feminine to feel complete, and yet the breasts so sad, and the rose so powerfully raw red....a verse full of emotion...
