Red....

Single red rose upon my bed
You lay undone your richness is complete
Your scent is sweet with passion in mind
The tenderness of your petal touches my skin
Velvet like a glove upon my hand
A strength in your stem as you hold your head
Single red rose upon my bed

Red as berry you rule your vision with delight
A single kiss from beauty that covers you
A moment of pure tranquil setting
Just a flower to others
But a rose in bloom is in my sight
The perfect scarlet bud is in my light
A token desired as warm as fire from the one admired ...
