Love Song To My Rose

"From deep within my heart
I always catch the scent
of my Beloved. How can I
help but follow that fragrance?"    By Rumi


I am a bee, a little bee.
The lovely blossoms beckon me.
They smile and wave; they wave and smile,
and though I linger for a while,
‘tis you, my dear, my precious Rose -
the one that long ago I chose -
to whom I gravitate. Your scent
entices me, and my descent
will be where I can see your face.
Long may I stay to feel your grace
and nectar of your essence drink,
my pretty flower blushing pink.

Sweet Rose, you know I love you so -
I'll come to you in sun's warm glow,
and when the night descends on you,
in light of moon I'll see you too.

A sweet song to a rose in poetry instead of prose. The romantic overtures had me on my toes, wishing I was like a rose. :-) I liked the poem, the rhythm and rhyme. Read like a winner to me, my dear friend Andrea. Smiles and Hugs, Bill
