My Crystal Rose

Tears blur my eyes 
Wet my cheeks, fall on paper
Cause the ink to run 
Like a crystal the tear drops
Glitter 
Crystal yes you my dear 
You rose of optical circumstance
Brilliantly changing color at every        
Glance 
You light of relaxation giving energy
to solemn soul 
Your petals full in the harmony
Of life
Your three-dimensional beauty 
Surpassed only by your love 
Understanding and friendship
Friendship, 
That immortal bundle of joy
We were friends who fell in love 
We are lovers who are friends 
What happiness we share 
How could I shatter you my dear
My Crystal-Rose 
My love my friend
