Rose Petals

Within the petals of the rose 

Captured in the fragrance of the orchid 

Nurtured by the holy water of love 

Drenched in the sunlight of your being 

My love is kept safe in the woman 

That is you. 

Within your eyes there is a flame 

Born of passion, fuelled by a sacred trust 

A woman beyond fantasy and imagination

Beyond the dreams of first love. 

Your face worthy of every love poem ever written 

With a smile that my dreams can, 

Play over and over again in a world, 

That only you and I know. 

Where we can walk, hand in hand 

Through dreams that have not yet spoken 

Down paths where our emotions merge 

Where two hearts beat as one 

In this glorious thing we call love. 

Here our souls can lay down together 

Away from this troubled world 

To make love, for angels to envy 

Where your kisses heal the man that is me 

To bring me back from the abyss.

To see the sunrise through your eyes 

Hand in hand with my one true love 

And when we are three 

I pray that our child will grow 

To find love and happiness 

Just like you and me.
