He Gives Her a Red Rose

Every bit of his heart
   is in the rose he gives her.
      And he gives it with all his love
         and appreciation.

He gives her a red rose to perfectly...
   match her lipstick-coated lips; a rose
      as crimson as the fiery passion
         oozing out of his every pore.

He gives her a red rose simply...
   to say "I love you" without
      mouthing the words; to make
         the light in her smiling eyes....

shine infinitely brighter, to lull
   her soul to sing with contentment.
      he gives her a rose hoping the whiff
         of its fragrance sends her spirits...

straight to the moon, 
    perhaps, to heaven!
