Analysis of Rosewater
Enter rose water. The sentinel.
Cascading over me like the Maui surf.
Protect me, for vultures lurk around me.
Sweet, billowy fragrance, you encapsulate my mind drops.
Rose water drops from your flowers.
Delicate, soft petals on my metals,
You're taking me on a ride.
And never your thorn puncturing my side!
you shield me from these ghastly ghosts.
Your pointy ends are sheer beauty, regal, the most.
Roses are red and violets are blue,
But you make me burn in love
Oh, rose water you make me so new.
