Ashes for Beauty

Let the lily of the valley
unfurl its blossomed scents
Let the Rose of Admiration
smile at this pretense

Let their lashes be as coals
darkened with desire
Yet mine will drip at scarlet wood
bleeding at the fire

Give them flowers of the fields
to set upon the stones
Beyond a city lined with thorns
and a valley of dry bones

Let Crimson bubble in their glass
to taste of wine so bliss
To stain their lips defining red
Result of every kiss

Let the lily of the valley
unfurl its blossomed scents
For in the midst of suffering
Beauty is content

Joy this poem is a very good accomplishment,
the style and form is what got me,
it is very well-written,

I know you said my last poem was meaningful,
to me yours was more meaningful,
it was also touching and had a feel that stays with you,
and really the stay with you part is the more important part of poetry,
someone can say its great and forget it the next day,
