MORNING DEW ON IT'S PETALS GLISTEN
~                                       IN THE SUN.

YOUR SENSES INDULGE ON IT'S SWEETEST SCENT.
~
REMEMBERING ALL THE HEARTS I
~                                              SHOULD'VE WON.

ONLY TO DWELL ON HOW OUR LOVE JUST
~                                                         CAME AND WENT.

STILL, IT PROUDLY STANDS ABOVE THE REST.
~
EASILY SPOTTED BY IT'S THORNS.
~
INSTANTLY ADDING A 'LOVING
~                                          TOUCH' AT BEST.

STANDING TALL OVER ALL
~                                       THAT IT ADORNES.

YELLOW, RED, PINK OR WHITE.
~
ONLY ONE OTHER FLOWER CAN
~                                   BRING MORE DELIGHT.

UNDERLINING WILL GIVE YOU CLUE,
~                                     TO KNOWING.

SINCE I WAS UNABLE TO UNDERLINE THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH WORD LIKE THE LAST VERSE SAYS.. THE POEM HAS A HIDDEN LAST VERSE IN THE FIRST LETTER OF EACH LINE READ DOWNWARD

TO SAY I LOVE YOU...

TO* ME IT IS IMPORTANT HOW YOU FEEL...
SAY YOU LOVE ME, SAY IT'S REAL...
I KNOW YOUR LOVE FOR ME IS STRONG...
LOVE ME RIGHT, WE CAN'T GO WRONG...
YOU CAN EVEN ASK YOUR SELF "ONCE MORE"..
IS HIS LOVE WORTH WAITING FOR?..
ALL MY TRUST I GIVE TO YOU..
THAT YOU'LL NEVER BE UNTRUE..
I NOW ASK OF YOU THIS TIME...
CAN YOU READ THE FIRST WORD OF EACH LINE?..
DO YOU HEAR THIS SONG OF MINE?...

READ THE FIRST WORD OF EACH LINE

"S" TIME

THE HEART FEELS WHAT THE EYES CANNOT SEE...
IN YOUR LUST-FILLED NIGHTS, I HOPE YOU REMEMBERED ME..
FOR I'LL REMEMBER YOU WHEN MY TIME IS DUE..
AND YOU WILL FEEL THE PAIN WHEN IT IS DONE TO YOU...

MY PRECIOUS QUEEN

MY PRECIOUS ROYAL HIGHNESS,
YOU OWN THIS HEART OF MINE..
WHEN I SEE YOUR LOVELY FACE,
THESE EYES "LIKE DIAMONDS" SHINE...

MY LOVE FOR YOU IS MORE,
THAN EVERY GRAIN OF SAND...
IN ALL THE OCEAN BEACHES
AND ALL THE DESERT LAND...

THE FINEST SILKS AND VELVET,
MORE GEMS THAN EVER SEEN...
A GOLD-TRIM ROYAL PALACE,
STILL, BARELY FIT FOR MY QUEEN...

WITH THE WIZARDS CRYSTAL BALL,
I TOOK A LOOK INSIDE...
DEEP INSIDE YOUR FUTURE AND,
YOU'RE DESTINED TO BE MY BRIDE...

I'M YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOUR,
AND I WED THEE WITH THIS RING...
COME WITH ME MY PRECIOUS QUEEN,
YOUR MAJESTY,...THE KING.

IMPRISONED

IN THE DEEP DARKNESS OF THE NIGHT...
       HER TEARS ROLLING ONTO HER SOFT PILLOW...
GLISTENING IN THE MOONLIGHT...

SILENTLY SHE SUFFERS, WOUNDED THAT HE'D GO...
        A SIGH FOR HIM REMAINS UNHEARD....

PATIENTLY AWAITING HIS RETURN...
        WITH THE BUTTERFLIES IMPRISONED IN HER DREAMS...

SOMETIMES

I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE IN LOVE...
AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE A GIFT FROM ABOVE...
LOVE HURTS AND MAKES YOU CRY...
BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT'S ALL JUST A BIG LIE..

AT FIRST YOU ARE HAPPY THEN YOU ARE BLUE...
AND YOU WILL WONDER WHY THIS HAPPEN TO YOU...

AT FIRST YOU WILL SMILE.. THEN YOU WILL FROWN...
THEN YOU WILL SHED THE TEARS OF A CLOWN...

AND ALL BECAUSE SOMETIMES.. LOVE LETS YOU DOWN...

TENDER KISSES

THE MAN WITH TENDER KISSES... THE ONE YOU LOVE SO MUCH....

THE ONLY ONE THAT GIVES YOU CHILLS FROM THE SLIGHTEST TOUCH....

HIS HEART IS FILLED WITH KINDNESS.... THE TYPE THAT'S SELDOM SEEN...

HIS CLASSINESS IS ROYALTY AND HE TREATS YOU LIKE HIS QUEEN...

FOR YOU HE HAS DEVOTION AND THAT IS PLAIN TO SEE...

I KNOW THE LOVE HE FEELS IS TRUE CAUSE THIS LOVING MAN IS ME...
