"Roses shape universe"
she whispered
as she leaned into the kiss
of a heart shaped rose
"Roses are passion"
her voice ablaze as I gazed
into the mirrored fire within her eyes
as she caressed the crimson velvet
defying the thorns
with her brushstrokes of affection
the delicate grace of her gentle touch
"We are measureless"
her voice, dulcet and clear
and I felt her
this poetry flowing
from heart to heart
where thoughts find words
and words find meaning
in a rain of starlight
pouring through our midnight garden
this magical night
the dance of two souls
our eternal embrace
sealed by a kiss
of a lover's rose
