Love's Immortality (After Shelley) Poem by Meng Lim Dr

Love's Immortality (After Shelley)

The pleading of the rose

Admire me, smell me
but pluck you shouldn't
I'll perish sadly
and be forgotten

let me seep in
the bright sunshine
watch me in the breeze
as I dance- do be kind

ah, how short-lived
I am-- fragile beauty born
to wither and disappear
alone, bereft and unknown

to you. the tender poet
(you have a heart) --this I plead
write me an immortal poem
and gladly I'll go to sleep
