Notes About The Poem

A Rose From Heaven's Garden

A rose just picked from heaven's garden;
     a gift that keeps on giving, that's you.
 Passions that you invoke within me, ardent.
   This i know deep in my heart to be true...

  you shall remain my lovely, celestial flower;
  thriving on my dear, far longer than spring.
   You reduce me to rubble with your power;
  your seductiveness, quite a wondrous thing!

   O, crimson rose, how colorfully you bloom!
  Beauty personified; a sight for my sore eyes.
   Glorious! You illuminate faces full of gloom;
   swaying to and fro as a gentle zephyr sighs

      Smelling so fresh, your sweet fragrance.
     As I breathe you in with joy and gladness,
    my dancing heart glows with such radiance
 Bloom on, bloom forever with your cheerfulness

Your lines are filled with romantic phrases, and each one as beautiful as the picture you've chosen to accompany your poetic work. Well done, Edward.
