Companionship

Hey little rose,
white, white, lofty and bright,
I want you to accompany me tonight.

Stir your sweet smiling petal,
scatter your fragrance over my head,
come and lie with me in bed.

Sweet rose of the night,
familiar with my breath,
come a little closer and make me sweat.

Open your strong shining petals
and mesmerize me with your flavor.
Oh sweet rose of the night
 you are a mystical savor.

Christine, I have never read a poem about a rose showing so much compassion and love. Just a great read and an enjoyable adventure. Thanks for posting this, your friend Lynn.
