Fair Rose, deep within mine mortal breast,
Lays tender bud, sweet essence of thine bloom,
No swordman's steel, could from mine being wrest,
Thy fragrant scent, shall e'er remain, 'til tomb
Doth beckon me, and steal thine life from me,
But even then, Fair Rose, heed now mine word,
For from night's void, darkness of eternity,
In evening's still, upon the winds be heard,
Love's madrigal, from forth my lifeless lips,
As to thee call, beyond the rim of time,
O' come to me, to sail on Passion's ships,
Forevermore, as to the heaven's climb,
Beyond the stars, through realm of welkin's portal,
As to thee sing, to Rose, my love immortal.

Mike-Mike-Mike~
No one does the Rose quite like you do.

'Love's madrigal, from forth my lifeless lips,
As to thee call, beyond the rim of time'

I LOVE the phrase 'beyond the rim of time'.

'Thy fragrant scent, shall e'er remain, 'til tomb'
Such a delicate fragrance of admiration you leave the reader.

Just beautiful ! !

Mike--The fair rose hath the power to bring forth such fragrant boquet from your heart dipped pen.

Applauding here!
The only thing more beautiful than a rose is your sonnet about her.
How romantic and exquisite

the language style and vocab choices added to the pleasures of this ones supber imagery and of course the cadence and meter of rhyme you do so well.
wonderful sonnet for the lovely rose of your suppose Mike

Sprayed across my heart and hers
Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

Through mist and moonlight rose lies e'er aglow,
enchanted by your pen's most fluent flow.
To rest within your heart, her deepest ache,
entangled 'neath moist thorns to morning's wake.

Enchantments commence when you write, my friend.
