Ode to a rose on a sunset

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 into lovers embrace.
A kiss from that 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 shared my life.
A kiss from that rose who selflessly filled,
The place of my darling rose wife!

    Breathtaking!

    I am not a fan of love poems they tend to sound all the same to me, but you have just proved my theory wrong. This is absolutely beautiful. The love expressed in these words is deep and all consuming. There are not words to express how beautiful I feel this poem is. Thank you for sharing and entering. Welcome to round 2.

    This was a really great write. I also need your option choice and my random quote Just a friendly reminder. In the beginning when you say "in to", I think it would be more appealing to me if it was "into", but you don't have to change it. I like the rhyming, these rhyming words are refreshing from the regualr old "know" and "no". You have a very nice vocabulary which you use with experience. I love intelligence. I also think it's nice how you repeat the first line and the first five words of the third line. I also really like the story you weaved into the poem. The title is also very appropiate to the write. Just wonderful. I'm putting you in the finalists, so good luck! (I hope I wasn't to professional in this verdict. HeHe! I'm only 13)

    This is Beautifully Done.

    My first impression is of someone very much in love. Emotionally these words enfold you in the blissfulness of eternal love. What a way to say I love you couldn't be better said. There was nothing awkward in this. In the fourth verse the word (wantom) should be wanton just a typo. The title is just beautiful. The first line is just right, and the last line sums this up very well. I liked it very much.
