The Language of Roses
She walked in swaying rhythm,
On a path with petals strewn,
As waves kissed lonely beaches,
Beneath a giant golden moon
On a path with petals strewn,
As waves kissed lonely beaches,
Beneath a giant golden moon
.
The night held scents of roses,
That grew profusely everywhere,
She had one perfect fragrant bloom,
Pinned in her flowing raven hair.
That grew profusely everywhere,
She had one perfect fragrant bloom,
Pinned in her flowing raven hair.
She loved their riotous colors,
A tapestry of nature's art,
The most exquisite of all flowers,
A gift from a lover's heart.
A tapestry of nature's art,
The most exquisite of all flowers,
A gift from a lover's heart.
She turned to find him watching,
His smoldering eyes caressed, .
His hand held out a perfect rose,
As she smiled and ,then, undressed
His smoldering eyes caressed, .
His hand held out a perfect rose,
As she smiled and ,then, undressed
