Another rose from you.
A gesture of your love.
Or so you say.
A rose to remind me of you
While you're away.

It's beautiful as always
You seem to find the best,
Long-stemmed and red.
But will it keep me warm
Alone in my bed?

Don't misunderstand me
I love roses from you
And I have from the start
But this time, I wish that instead of one more rose,
You had given me your heart.

The longing, one of life's greater pains. Beautifully done Sven!

"You can tell me you love me a thousand times, but I'd feel it more in just one touch." Very well said, Sven, I truly can relate to this one.

Very beautiful poem...I really enjoyed reading...

"Thirsting for a Love's touch
can strain one's heart much
To be with them in your eye
you would feel ever so high
So take with you my rose
this I hope you will know
within it lies my precious Love
for you are my purest Dove."

Looking forward to seeing more from you.

Beatifully written
magically woven
what power of yours
that made me
open my doors.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

This is a really good one Sven, you really nailed me this time. It's now your turn to bring back a fond memory of mine.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Black Beads

is all that I have of you
that I would hold on to
for if you are with me
together we'll spend eternity.

Thank you Jaguar. . .

It would seem that you and I have much in common. . .

'Tis no power my friend
That made me open your doors
But do walk through, and in the end
You will find that love will be yours. . .
