Rose of Blue

Flower of amazingly different hues.
My favorite color grows upon you.
Feeling that I could give the clues,
Bearing upon my soul so true,

Solemn words that I may share.
Might dry your petals so fair,
My thoughts I will keep within.
While you glisten without sin,

Understanding what it is you do.
Bringing happiness from your view,
Whispering soft and gentle woos.
My heart annexed by passionate blues.
