The Fiery Rose

A collaboration with my brother-in-law, Andrew Pennell (AJP)

The fiery rose is my blossoming love
God's love is like the fiery, passionate rose that I give you gratefully
My love is strong and mighty like a graceful knight
The fire on the scarlet rose is the strength of my love
The rose is the rock of the base that I hand to you as a beloved gift 
You are my rock that supports me and you never crumble into sand
The redness of your cheeks - it blossoms so sweet, so eloquently, so lovely with wild passion.
You built me up with your avalanching grace and sacred wisdom
Our love keeps on scorching enthusiastically
Like a black and white checkered stallion by the name of Spirit of Delight
You brought us together like a complicated puzzle
Our bond is stronger than the finest steel on Earth
You enrapture me with your pure beauty, 
glowing aflame with fire licks and fireworks
The fiery rose will be your bouquet of stars in no time
This time spent with each other eye to eye is simply sublime 
Stars do sparkle bright when you walk and run by my side always and forever
You repaired my state of mind...
I'm astonished by your fantastic flight
God has concealed our love in a safe dwelling called Heavenly Haven
The Lord has preserved it like a rose, 
burning intensely and gloriously in a glass globe

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful collab. I, of course, cannot tell who wrote what and I think that's cool. It may mean you share similar muses with Andrew. Cool stuff, really.
