Love Poem: Rosie

Rosie

Your bright eyes had me eclipsed
Your pouted red lips like a rose
My soul danced on your visage
Our hearts intertwined like a vice

Your pedals blushed my tingling skin
Love was registered with a red seal
Your aroma completes me from within
Your smile expresses the very joy I feel

Red Rosie, I’ve never seen you blue
You held it together, all my life through 
Jealousy had me doubt if your hue is true
Now my evergreen garden is a Rosie view

In bloom all my life
Fun filled days
My undying symbol of love
Sun fulfilled rays
