Roses and Dahlias

colors so rich they overwhelm me
 with their brazen scents, 
winds so warm, they feel like the 
gentle caress of a lover
waters sparkle like your eyes; a 
timeless green that turns 
gray in the shadows
the sun is thrown from side to side when
 its high in the ever burning blue sky 
a rose so red, by it's name you know it
smells just as sweet
a dahlia so fragrant, no perfume
 can compare

both sweet; both so fine 
their lovely scents you give me 
make them mine.
