The First Flower I Chose

The First Flower I Chose


You were my rose, the first flower I chose
A beauty so fair, such shine in your hair
You I chose, the finest ever love rose
Asked on a dare, the prettiest girl there

Soon we wed, pretty flower graced my bed
Nights sent such bliss, heaven I did not miss
Flames in bed, want no other instead
Honey that kiss, love never was like this

Years together, in good and bad weather
Loving every night, touching sweet just right
Joy our weather, sweet kisses a feather
Sexy the sight, your naked body at night

My rose did cast, true love that did so last
I held so fast, to that ship's greatest mast

I was counting how many sonnets you had here at Soup but I lost count. I'd say maybe close to 200. I may have seen this one a long time ago. It has many comments on it and is a golden oldie for you by now. Sweet and romantic. I came to it because of the cute title.

Thanks my friend. Yes, the truest treasure is usually that first flower(love).. Even if true it may still not last because people are fickle and ever changing.. Sad when such love fails but life has many sad experiences .
