Four simple words I speak, I love thee Rose, There, 'tis now said, no beauteous madrigal, From forth mine lips, to thee mine love disclose, No dreams, nor illusions on thee befall. For goddess of night's welkin sky above, Is not mine quest, thou art mine life's adore, I cede to thee mine heart, and soul thereof, My gift fair Rose, mortal love and nothing more. You took mine hand, and placed it on thy heart, To feel within, thy inmost hopes and dream, I found therein, true love to me impart, As pure and sweet, as flowing mountain's stream. I love thee Rose, for thee mine heart doth pound, I love thee Rose, in thee my heart have found. |

Mike--Your rose must truely be fair, to light up you words with such beauty..I hope no thorns are clustered within her sweet boquet.  |

'tis the great thing about poetic roses Martie... aren't any thorns... *smile* they exist only in the gardens of the mind. |

Chuck, I loved your poem. However a Rose without thorns is... stuck in a vase somewhere. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

This is a beautiful love sonnet. I loved this! Keep up the great work! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Love doth adorn thy words so well, is such simple words you do say, but three simple words are well said from thee I love you, the three most elegant and imparted words that one can ever say, I loved this poem so shakespearean, words do survey our hearts! |
