Dressed in hot pinks and orange dress you greet me
Your silken skirt soft and smooth carefully adorn
You stretch your delicate legs towards the suns rays
Delicate your perfume delights
I’ve been admiring you for some time
And now as you blush radiantly as nature intended
I understand why so many are drawn to you
Especially when I see your jewelled form freshly sprinkled
Thirsty you welcome every drop of water you can get
You soak it all up and through the days get stronger
Until you are either picked by someone special
or left alone solitary
to display your beauty regardless

Mother, poet, crafter, friend
Daughter of Margaret and Robert
Lover of husband Craig, sons Ben and Michael
Who feels pain, love and priveledged
Who fears pain, hurt, unknown and drops (of type where land falls away)
Who would like to see friends overseas and things that remain unseen
like life after death and answers to ghostly/spiritual beings

A kiss from a rose on a sunset night,
as the clouds dip into the sea.
A kiss from that rose as the waves fall,
over the beach to a rose kissed me.
A kiss from a rose on a sunset night,
as we wrap in lovers embrace.
A kiss from a rose as homeward we go,
to a bed clothed in satin and lace.
A kiss from a rose on a sunset night,
with passion and warmth do we grasp.
A kiss from that rose that blossoms and blooms,
my hand in her labour pain clasp.
A kiss from a rose on a sunset night,
that wanton and curvy young bride.
A kiss from that rose that huddles our babe,
so loving, in motherly pride.
A kiss from a rose on a sunset night,
without whom I'd not share my life.
A kiss from that rose who selflessly filled,
the place of my darling rose wife!
