This Thistle and His Rose

I don't want for much
Being just a simple man
My love i wish to share
To show her who i am

The touch of this man
Will serenade your skin
The touch of his lips
And you will start to begin

To open up your heart
And welcome him home
To hold him in your arms
So he will no longer roam

To look into your blue eyes
As in his arms he holds you tight
Know he'll be here tomorrow
And with you every single night

The want in my loving heart
Just grows and grows and grows
The desire to share my love
For this Thistle and his Rose

This is very beautiful, James. It has special meaning to me because the man that I wrote "Elephant Dandruff" for (reposted around Feb 19th) was a special person in my life. He signed my autograph book with a beautiful small painting of a woman's hand holding a bouquet of flowers with one rose and the rest leaves and thorns. He wrote, "To a rose among thorns" So as I read your poem, It brought back many memories. (I hope you reconsider and stay with the soup...we will miss you, too much.)

Everyone longs to be appreciated, even a "simple man." However, James, you are far from simple. You are one of the romantic writers and you always paint your loving images so beautifully. Awesome poem, Highlander, and I'm still feeling so much joy for your win in Brian's contest!!! Believe it: You have talent! Love, Carolyn
