Sea of Roses

Beneath the glowing stars
  our hearts whispered
the scent of roses claimed our souls
and we caressed the face of love 
  in starlight
before us was a sea of roses
  fragrant and aromatic
a lover's paradise of blooms
that intoxicated us as we fell into the sea
to reveal the passionate universe within
and dream of nectared ambrosia
  beneath a heartfelt sky
of wondrous wonder
where kisses were meant to capture
and crushed petals made perfume
filling the air with the scent of roses
