Dripping Sweetness

I picked a fragrant rose, dulcet and perfumed soft, kissing, the honeyed petals, rich, dark and dripping sweetness, oh, I love the scent of bright red roses! and I carried it to you, my dearest, my precious, adorable and treasured one, you, my delicate sweet darling, oh, I still cherish your beloved touch! melodious, the birds sing, a pleasurable song in the trees, the sky azure, lovely, the sun gold, I press the red rose to my rosy cheek, oh, my beloved feline, I lay it at your grave! ______________________________ July 23, 2015 Poetry/Free Verse/dripping sweetness Copyright Protected, ID 15-692-948-0 All Rights Reserved.

Dedicated to my precious feline. Violet Patches who left me in February, it was God's will. She was the sweetest cat. So full of love. Even in death she was beautiful to behold.
