Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Just As Sweet

A single red Rose sits on the corner

 of the yellow linen draped table

in the open air cobblestone courtyard.

Under the star filled moonlit midnight sky

 romance sings as the piano plays.

In walks you

just as sweet as that single Rose

your smile outshining the lustrous moon

wearing that periwinkle blue dress

accenting those eyes like a vane gated Tulip 

I take your hand and we dance

we dance close

to the beat of the music and the beat of our hearts

upon white pure petals of the margarita

saying only "love me"

a single red rose sits on the corner table

showing our love.....but

you are more than just a Rose

you are a red Camellia,

the flame to my heart

you are the Calla Lilly blowing in the wind

so majestic and pure

the cheerful Crocus and the beautiful Orchid

lighting up my simple little world

You're more than just a Rose

having only one certain trait

you're my bouquet of wildflowers

all put together, you are great

Constance La France May 5, 2015 at 6:51 AM Tim, your poem is lovely, so flowing and magical with all the different flowers, I love it, 7 and thanks for visiting my poem, we nurses . . . not sure if it will place in the limerick contest because I think it is more sad than humour, but we nurse need to laugh at these things at times or the job is too devastating in its reality Tim Smith May 5, 2015 at 5:34 PM Thank You BW
