I Know the Land Where the Lemon-Tree Flowers

I know the land where the lemon- tree flowers, I have seen it's pretty blooms And it has the fresh clean scent of you, I've seen the pretty lemon citric fruit, I love it's taste and its flavour In the same way that I love the taste of you, You are the taste that I choose to savour, While comparing the prettiness and the shape of you. I notice the lemon Has the same smooth and shapely aspects glowing as you do, The same fine texture I really want to make you bloom, Like the lemon-trees do, In all their pretty adornment Leaving me bamboozled, By your fresh and zestful way Who knew it would be lemons and you I crave, We can share a pretty picnic Under the lemon trees In a land that is so pretty Where I can stare so deeply Into your deep and sumptuous pretty eyes.

I like the way you compare your love to a lemon; this was unusually smart. A wise poem. Good luck in the contest!
