A Romance For Valentines

In my heart lives a rose
That is forever in bloom
Its sweet beauty grows
When you enter the room.
The rose fragrance tells me
of its romantic intent
Such wonderful beauty
must be heaven sent
I lie here dreaming of you.

I am a wild rambling rose
Thorns on my vine
but hurt I do not impose
From this heart of mine
Though I am a man
Prone to impediment
With all that  am
I swear to repent
I lie here dreaming of you.

My beautiful rose
I love you so much
Love inside me grows
with your every touch
I treasure your beauty
and of me you are part
You become more precious to me
With every beat of my heart
I lie here dreaming of you.

Andrea Dietrich Date: 6/10/2014 7:30:00 AM just seeing this note here for the first time. Remember I rarely see replies on my comments. LOL. Darren, I wonder if there are many poems of yours I have not yet seen? I am way behind at Soup because I spent so freaking long on that ESL project of mine, but I want to thank you for seeing my latest poems. Let me quickly see if I can find a poem of yours I never read yet. maybe in the back page!! Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 2/6/2014 3:15:00 PM I love how this is so rhythmic and flows smoothly. The ending line repeated makes it so nice, like a little song. This is how a man should write his love poems!! Login to Reply Darren Watson Date: 2/6/2014 3:36:00 PM Thank you Andrea, I think my idea of romance must be old fashioned , The British media is advising us to scour our newspapers for two meals for one vouchers and use those on our first dates , I'd feel a cheapskate doing that but apparently its in vogue , I must just be old fashioned.

Tim Smith Date: 2/5/2014 3:53:00 PM This is very nice Darren....Tim Login to Reply Darren Watson Date: 2/5/2014 4:07:00 PM You hit the nail on the head there Tim. Tim Smith Date: 2/5/2014 4:02:00 PM I have that same problem. You get that funny idea and start to write and just it doesn't seem as funny as it was in your head Darren Watson Date: 2/5/2014 3:59:00 PM I tried to write a funny version first Tim seemed funny too as I was writing it . Then I read it. I'm an idiot. Thanks for the kind comments about this one.
