i want to be a rose

"A Rose By Any Other Name Would Smell Just As Sweet"
William Shakespeare

I want to be a rose.

don't you think a rose is a beautiful thing to be? you are resplendent in your glory and majestic in your allure...

it's nice to be admired.to be idealised.to be used to make people happy.
A rose can touch the heart of the most bitter cynic.It can turn the coy maiden into an intense conflagoration of passion.it can give warmth where there was cold.it can cool the most heated tempers.

A rose symbolises love,beauty and passion all at once...It represents the underpinings of desire within the human heart.The act of presenting a rose to a loved one shows that she is important to your existence.Simultaneously,you praise her virtues;you show her that you think a rose personifies her the most.Do you know that different numbers of roses represent the varying degrees of emotion in a Man's heart?For instance,a single rose shows the Lady that she is irreplacable..."you are my one and only"it can also symbolise simplicity...in full bloom,it speaks the strongest of words,"I LOVE YOU"......99 roses represent the undying,eternal flame that is your love..."Ai ni chang chang jio jio"...

What is your favourite rose? Red ones imply passion...White ones represent purity,silence and secrecy...Deep pink ones symbolise gratitude and appreciation...Light pink ones stand for admiration and sympathy...Orange or coral roses are symbols of enthusiasm and desire.A rose bud says,"you are young and beautiful"...

"The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove."

John Boyle O’Reilly

hmm...i've always believed that a garden full of nothing but roses,set in arbours and trellis,cascading down the eaves like water in a waterfall is the most beautiful sight.It would be even better if turtle doves and monarch butterflies could flit around and complement the dreamscape like Angels of God...And to crown all this beauty,to have the queen of my heart next to me.

When i die,i want to be a reborn as a rose.

"Red Rose, proud Rose, sad Rose of all my days!Come near me, while I sing the ancient ways" William Butler Yeats

i want to inspire generations of poets and artists so they can fill the world with beautiful words and song.

Don't you think a rose is a beautiful thing?
