Fragrance of Yesterday's Air

I dream of roses and a lover's song
The fragrance lingers from yesterday's air,
of sensual touch, when nights were long
And I was drowning in her falling hair
I gave her roses of passionate red
Spreading petals around her sweeter scent
We'd drink from love's cup, drunk on the unsaid
Lost in scented roses, fragrance now spent
Exposing her soul, revealing her cry
Who loved red roses and passionate love
A fiery white light that burned through night sky
She was a lover. One.... dreams are made of

I gave her red roses, for times lover's share,
She gave candled nights, beneath falling hair

oops. sorry I forgot orange. but it is not a favorite color of mine, and I had no room for it in the sonnet. haha. I also would love to see a blue rose one day. there is one called "blue" that I got for my yard but it's actually like a lavender color. Let me see if I can find a poem of yours I have not seen yet.
