Poem
Full and slowly opening in the room a dozen roses bloom; large buds once tightly closed their fragrance open and arose; a beauty of colors, lavender base crimson tipped hues upon their face; blushing pinks ready to unfold, nothing better than a rose. The whites open freely as a single apricot glows discretely; centered on the table, to the sun exposed arranged carefully in layered rows; two short lavender in front, the apricot and two whites with seven tall lavender blooming in delight; such a treat, some special thought secured in love, not purchased just bought. A dozen roses mark the spot to say he loves me, loves me not? savored with a kiss upon the cheek, soft and gentle, please repeat; gratitude, appreciation for the years we played in the game of courting love on parade; recalled now thru times of vigor and vim, securing the memory of him. A dozen roses given for no reason, a costly price out of season; but the thought continues to survive in pressed dry petals, no longer alive; while in the warmth of spring's young sun love surpasses the short time we'd won; beautiful and true the lasting I love you. Kiss me soft and gentle into old age, write a love poem on the page; who would have thought how far we've come when life seemed ever on the run; busy and rushing, we did pause to keep life from slipping away just because; hold me closer, kiss me tender these are moments I want to remember. A dozen roses set the scene trimmed and tapered by the greens; baby breath, full, white and thick but it's the roses that make the mix; a wafted fragrance perfumes the air that carries heart and mind back there; the good times and the bad, the happy and the sad. They all bring a tear to my eye while on your shoulder I softly cry; give me back those times, summers warm and winter wines; as life goes on, brief as it is, we each had much to give; but roses lose their petals, bend and fade it is dreams that remain, keeps me safe, unafraid. Inspire an old song from the 60s days. Bring me a rose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1CgVvg9-5E
