the beginning is very evocative and richly poetic. The rose bud metaphor is very nicely weaved. The second stanza was a bit confusing since the phrase (rest in peace) is a common term in American english, alluding to the dead.

This piece is fold on a kind of inner secret to it.
It has a bitter taste as the color black though royal, yet is depressing in a way. I think each word was intended and well chosen. The last line, whether intended or not gives it an extra mysterious feeling and it works as the whole piece paints through.
I'd say it's bitterly sweet.

Dear raj _sublime
your-poetry
and
the condition
of the one's...
women
are still in doldrums

man's eyes for ever remain avaricious
to the one's who are so different
man's lust comes out
but with a different spelling

now the whole world is having a binge
everywhere similarly

red roses are being crushed daily
ask me not
not in which city

last night it happened again in Delhi
goggle /yahoo/twitter told everybody

what can lonely Police do
there are so many roses
in the Garden of Eden
not red
nor Black as per you

but in BLUE..
no smiling hue

Your poem speaks so true
hope metaphorically all
knew

"the second stanza is redundant and only detracts from the power of the first." I totally agree with blistered-pen, she seem to have a good feel for beauty. And yes this is far more powerful.

raj, this is a real gem!
bravo. So simply done, but such a huge impact.

I agree with blistered pen. "aroma into stigma" is very powerful.
