Take the Leap Into My Heart

Frolic into these open arms that need you.
Melt into my lips, and let them feed you.

Let the breath of love's kiss
and my eager feet lead you

into my heart's majestic garden.
Bloom freely, my beauty. I'll never weed you.

There is one trophy in this growth,
and it is, indeed, you.

Should my rare rose be cut,
my garden will truly bleed you.

WoW! This debut poem is absolutely beautiful, Juliet. Romeo has surely fallen in a day ... from the gentle force of your ink sway. LOVE your quill style, it is unique. Aurora bright write. Love and smiles and smiles of joy forever.
