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