~a Crimson Rose Ii~

'Crashing'....Into the rocks.... I stare, until a light mist Gathers itself within my eyes I gance to my left, towards the cove A sailboat sailing, just beyond an empty shore I peer, I stare, but, 'She' is not there I resend my sight.... Her bluest, of alluring blue eyes Heavenly eyes~Her timeless glow! Wearing a flowered sundress Her shining, and flowing auburn hair Standing there ~ I beam, as I gently ring the chimes Those, that she did once fashion Forever there, now by my side Dolphines and butterflies Her favorite flower....'A Crimson Rose' ~ I then set my coffee down And, gather them within my hand I think, I shall keep the top up, today It is, kind of cold.... "Can we dear, can we" Peter Gabriel ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Driving down a coastal road On a grey and cloudy, seaside day Somber silence, as I look toward the west The oceans breaks, as I glance upon its edge.... Gazing, beyond its horizon, and beyond all time ~ Turning back ahead, and into the rear view mirror A tiny heart, red, and her golden cross! A tear from the corner of my eye, falls, as I arrive I slowly pull up, park, and once again, get out Across the solemn ground That I have crossed before, I walk I quietly and humbly kneel down As I run my fingers, through her glistening hair.... "Hello my love," I say, as I lay them tenderly Before 'Her Eyes!'~ There, for her grace to see~'Her Beauty!' I carefully arrange them, my heart bleeding inside As I remove the old~"And there you are, 'My Dear!'" I then stand, and I hold her close.... Kissing the perfectness, of her wonderous lips! And I whisper, "always," into her everlasting soul ~ "Forever 'My Love,' forever!" A bright gleaming as I look unto the sky And then, I close my eyes.... "In your eyes, the light the heat, I am complete" "Can we dear, can we" She giggles, as I hand her an eternal And neverending promise, once again, within ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~A Crimson Rose~
