The beauty of a rose Sweet goddess of the petalled realm With velvet folds of crimson red Awakens with the morning sun And reaches out from flower bed Why so enchanting no one knows That is the beauty of a rose Sweet cooing of the mourning dove At dawn she opens up my eyes She croons a melody so soft That sounds of lovers lullabies The music drifts from eves above That is the cooing of a dove Sweet teardrops sit on rose and leaf The crystal balls of morning mist Til sun embraces with its warmth And melts them with a loving kiss As fresh and pure as words from you That is the early morning dew Awake me at the brink of dawn Like soft enchantment of a rose And croon a lover’s lulliby As dove sings songs that no one knows And melt the morning’s crystal mist With warm embrace and loving kiss Elizabeth Santos |

It gets no better than this, Liz. What a flow-er you are. This poem is as smooth as silk and flows like honey....none of which surprises me since you wrote it  |

Elizabeth, my friend~ I know you you won't agree. But don't you dare argue with me ... I think you've written a self poet-rait!  Love you bunches. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Liz, I must agree with our Miss Marge...this poem is a direct reflection of your lovely, gifted self. The breath of beauty at its most exquisite... ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
