You are for me as the sun and rain
is to life
With your love I will bloom
as the fairest rose
in your garden and
like the rose
my alluring fragrance
will fill the air you breathe
and you
will want to come closer
to touch the softness of my skin and
with each passing day
I will unfold
and share my inner beauty
only with you
for as long as I am allowed
to be the only rose
in your garden, but understand
that like the rose
the protection of thorns
will turn you away
should you touch me and
your intentions be
less than true.
