A lullaby, she sings to me
This pretty flower sets me free
My amaranth, my one and only
Promising me I will never be lonely
A lovely bright vermilion shine
I can't believe that this flower is mine
Amaranth, you have me now
Please don't even ask me how
I know that this is meant to be
I know it is, it's clear, you see
You're my rose without the thorns
That the sweet bright light adorns
Amaranth, don't let me down
Lift me up or watch me drown
Let me lay within your light
And never let me leave your sight
My flower girl, she never dies
I kiss her beauty as we rise
And as we touched and as we laid
I knew that we would never fade
Amaranth, I finally found you
I found our love, it's bright and new
My little girl with shining eyes
Told me this world never lies
Amaranth, don't let me down
Lift me up or watch me drown
Let me lay within your light
And help me make it through the night
Author notes
November 3, 2007... The amaranth is a flower that never dies. I chose it to symbolize me and my girlfriend's love for each other. It will never die, just like the amaranth.
For the contest: It was DQed because the person running the contest thought it sucked.

In the words of one Bill Shakespeare:
Love is not love
That alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove,
Oh, no it is an ever fixed mark
That looks upon the tempest
And is never shaken.
Using the amaranth as the symbol of abiding love is perfect. This is well done.
Keep writing them like this

Creative poem. Thanks for entering.

it's sweet and the flow and rhyme are good. the last two lines of your second stanza just seem like you were forcing the rhyme. but other than that, it's good.
