If Roses Could Talk If Roses could talk They will tell you the deepest thoughts Of the secrets of my heart of hearts Deepest thoughts of my unspoken words Unspoken words of my deepest feelings Deepest feelings that words cannot express Words from the flames of my spirit As I saw you coming for our tryst Our secret tryst under the African Cypress I clutched my new bouquet of red Roses  Red Roses of the petals of my heart. If only these Roses could talk Only these Roses can tell you  How much I have prayed for our dreams to come true. - Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima, Tuesday, June 7, 2021.
