The Rose of my Eye
~~~


Strolling  through  gardens  of  roses  so  rare
thoughts  drifting  ...  sweet  essence
enchanting  the  air
The  colors  ...  the  hues
all  pleasing  to  eye
each  petal  ...  a  picture
make  breathing  a  sigh
The  trickle  of  water  to  pool  crystal  clear
The  frolic  of  birds  ...  with  nothing  to  fear
A  moss  covered  bridge  o'er  meandering  brook
'neath  flowering  tree
finds  you  ...  lost  ...  in  a  book
My  silent  approach  brings  sparkle  to  eyes
your  lips  ...  gently  curl
with  pleasant  surprise
There  in  my  hand  ...  knelt  down  at  your  side
a  ring
made  with  diamond
for
' the  Rose  of  my  Eye '
~~~

Sigh...Rex that was so beautiful, breath taking...wow.

A moment captured so poignantly, Rex...this is lovely.

I think all proposals should have a mandatory label......romance must be included in every serving.

Beautiful!

I can only agree, very good and well done. Oh by the way was it not your daughter that wrote such nice pieces? I think there should be here to (If I'm right)

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
