Scarlet Rose

As I dream I think of you
The dew on the grass
So many gardens
With scarlet roses

The smell so sweet
The bright colors
Like blood flowing
All around

As you lay on the ground
With thorns that hurt
I lay my pains down
My scarlet rose

Love comes to me
In the form
Of a rose
With life so full

I'm on fire
With shadows of you
I see mirrors
Of scarlet rose

As you rise to greet the day
I think of kisses
Sweeter then wine
My scarlet rose

Sweet promises are made
As the veil comes off
You move in the light
Such pure delight

Thoughts run through my head
Of you running along
A spring in every step
Sweet scarlet rose

You are the pretty flower
That blooms each day
Those petals so soft
Along the way

My gaze is upon you
Your eyes so bright
Lips so full
Sweet scarlet rose

My memory lingers
As the thoughts come
What would I do
Without scarlet rose
