Tenderness of An Iris

She smiles with the tenderness of an iris
A wonderful blush of mauve and lavender
There’s not anyone I’d rather see than this
One who holds my heart and is my real lover
Her appearance is just like a full flower
She holds my stare and has some extreme power
To hear her sigh is like music to my ears
I will always hold her close for all our years

John Posey Date: 10/27/2013 1:54:00 PM I assume this was written for/about your wife. Could her name be Iris? I ask simply because it reminds me so of one I wrote for my wife some time ago. "A Rose That Never Fades" tells of the flower in my life... Great work, my friend.... Love reading it..... Jake Login to Reply
