Roses

he is tall and dark
gentle strong hands tender heart
brown eyes deep like sea

plant peace inside me
he gave me twelve red roses
pearly smile shining

I will. It is kinda sad to watch them slowly wilt.

Thanks Victor. Someone kindly told me this was not a haiku. And so I learned what it is. Lol can't spell it though.

This is such a mesmerizing haiku poem with such eloquent descriptions of the beloved, creating a romantic ambience, like a fairytale.. I especially love the second haiku so much "plant peace inside me he gave me twelve red roses pearly smile shining" This is purely mesmerizing! :)
