The Red Roses
The red roses are in the vase on the coffee table,
They were in your hand on the way home last night.
Their colour shines as if to show they're so proud.
Silent are the red roses, they don't want to disturb love.
Is red the colour of love? Ambitious and arrogant?
Then why do I have this fear of losing it?
My heart deeply asks what will happen to love
when they wither.
The red roses stand still!
Flower Language
flowers have miraculous colours
they send us love with their perfumes;
a different language have flowers
even if i learn all the languages in the world
it won't be possible for me to tell about love
as well as fragrant flowers
i smell love watching their colour
and want to say "i love you"
in the flower-language to my lover
