Night Rose
And she was safe! The troll was slain by her valiant knight in his shining moonlight armour. In the ferocious battle the knight had been mortally wounded and lay dying before her. She cradled him in his arms as her star sparkling tears fell onto his skin. He said to her, "I shall never leave you, my love." And suddenly, before the the very eyes of the Princess, his heart turned into a rose. And he said, "This rose is my heart and it's petals are my kisses" She wept every day from that day on but the rose always shed it's petals at dawn and dusk as a fire red kiss upon her china white skin. And that is why, even to this day, the rose is held as a symbol for eternal love.
Happy Valentine everybody. Hope you liked my little story, the words, and the photograph. I hope you have somebody whose kisses fall like rose petals on your lips and skin. For those who don't, keep a light lit in your soul and she will find you. Happy Valentine to my Valentine. I don't know who she is yet... but you are out there... somewhere... :-)

Happy Valentine's Day
Cristina, I really liked the red effect too! It actually comes from a near by street lamp that is illuminating the rose :-)
M - Happy Valentine. You are an Angel :-) Thanks for everything you do. It means a lot to me.

Last but never least :-)

The rose is the human heart, its branches, blood vessels that feed oxygen and life to all other organs and limbs. The thorns are the toxins we ingest (tobacco, alcohol, fear, self loathing).
Trust your heart. Before you find 'her', see and trust your own beauty. The beating will echo to her. The red will shine even in the darkest corners to guide her to you.
Good advice. I will try to trust in my own beauty Mermaid. thank you :-)
Best Wishes

La Luna, thanks for stopping by to visit 'Mermaid Healing'. I think you started with the posts that were lowest on the page, not necessarily the most recent. Oh, well, enjoyed the comments, as well as your own home, 'Light of the Moon'. You live in the sky, as I do in the sea, but in truth, I find beauty in all nature.
