Roses White Orchids Black

If your favorite flower is the rose

Do you not then liken yourself to a rose

Is not your beauty equal to that of the rose

 

Behold I stand perfect beauty

A white rose among the thorns

Behold I stand for you to see

A perfect beauty inside of me

 

If mine favorite flower is the orchid

Do I not then liken myself to the orchid

Is not my beauty equal to that of the orchid

 

Behold I stand handsome beauty

A black orchid among twisted roots

Behold you stand for me to see

A handsome beauty inside of you

 

A single petal of the rose so delicate of it self

A single petal of the rose so flawless of it self

Delicate beauty equaled only by delicate perfection

Flawless beauty equaled only by flawless grace

 

A single petal of the orchid so sensual of it self

A single petal of the orchid so ****** of it self

Sensual beauty equaled only by sensual grace

****** beauty equaled only by ****** perfection

 

Where there is white rose there is you

Where there is black orchid there is me

White Rose Black Orchid You and I

Wherever you go there too will I be

 

Does not the rose equal your grace

Does not your beauty equal the rose

Does not the orchid equal my strength

Does not my strength equal the orchid

 

Doth not the white rose possess the black orchid

Can not they bee one can not they be the same

 

Doth not you have mine heart

As the white rose has you

Doth not I have your soul

As the black orchid has me

 

The orchid has fallen for the rose

Has fallen for the orchid

And in my field of white roses

You stand a sultry orchid black

 

If only to look if only to feel

If only to hold if only to love

A rose white is me this night

Take from me this rose white

 

This rose white this orchid black

Together as one we cant take back
