I love you as a rose with soft petals,
I bathe in your perfume without pride.
Not knowing where you nor I begin,
A bridge made from head to toe.
A stem grown in everlasting patience
Without pestilence, without secret
I love you as a rose with soft petals
My heart providing shelter,
An overwhelming need to protect you.
I mold my lips against you.
A nature no longer absent between you & I.
Having known the spontaneous eruption
hearts can provide.
My heart overhead
Providing shelter in not so private joy.
A wine made from your lips.
Tasted over & over.
Little trickles that sit close.
Explored deep between you & I
I love you as a rose with soft petals
A bridge made from head to toe.
In a garden run deep.
My love for you permanent
Careful not to wither away in undying mystery
