Rosebud
\nby cricketjeff on August 25, 2008.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nThe velvet scented softness of the petals of a flower
\n\u00a0 Cannot outdo the beauty of your skin
\nThe glistening of the raindrops from a sudden summer shower
\n\u00a0 Are nothing to the shine that is within<\/p>\n
The first time that I saw you as you rested on my bed
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 I gasped to see such beauty at my call
\nThe image of your body is now etched inside my head
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 A perfect bloom whose petals never fall<\/p>\n
My fingers trace your textures and my eyes perceive your form
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 No rose could be more beautiful to me
\nNo flower bed has beauty that is quite so fresh and warm
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 No shrub has blooms that I’d prefer to see<\/p>\n
Your eyes were so appealing as they bade me pluck your best
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Your arms soon wrapped me where I’d long to stay
\nThe single bloom I sampled means I’m longing for the rest
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 I yearn to see your beauty every day<\/p>\n
You are my only rosebud, you’re the orchid of my eye
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 A botanist would die to touch your stem
\nAnd when you hold me closely I am certain I can fly
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 My perfect soul, my poet and my friend<\/p>\n
