Roses.

Now privy to the knowledge that kisses from roses taste sweeter than the rest, you have made me blossom like a cherry tree in spring, and shown me that real love can make a man feel better than his best.  Daisies and daffodils I have had many on my long and jaded quest, but the sweet embrace of us fulfills my secret garden more poignantly than the others, I must confess.  My water slakes your thirst as your oxygen breathes new life into me so beautifully, enamoured I feed hungrily as I promise to sustain you just as dutifully.  You have ended the drought that filled my world with weeds, making me feel so dark; like a gardener, you cleansed the soil around me that was slowly beginning to poison my heart.  Like art, I am the painter and you are my canvas, I take your hand in my own longing to chase away your fears and prevent you from ever again feeling anxious.  Our tulips bow blissfully, prostrating in submission to the passion that overflows from my cup into yours; I am not a prophet yet somehow I knew that you would quickly become the centre of all the things that I adore.  Like manna from Heaven, one look from you is enough to leave me feeling satisfied and in a daze, I am no sycophant although it seems I cannot shower you with enough praise.  I was predisposed to failure and programmed for defeat but then you came along and swept me off my feet.  I feel the happiest I have in a while now that love has added vibrancy and colour to my otherwise dull, deserted streets.  Your blue eyes have dyed my soul, you are now all that I long to breathe or see.  I promise to always be around when you are sad, lonely or unhappy.  Together, we will make the most beautiful art, as the chemistry between us is ethereal and off the chart.  Beguiled from the start, it seems that we are running faster than we can, you have possessed my heart, and you are now my number one hunger pain.  Tied together with a smile, I took an inch as you ran miles around me, capturing me in your entirety. Darkness will be conquered and soon make way for light, nourish me with your harvest, revive me of my sight.  Your fragrance dances with me, and each time I am reborn; jasmine and lavender hide in shame, for you have succeeded where they were forlorn.  I am clay inside your hands, do with me as you please; I am grateful for this journey we are embarking on, that will help us soar to great heights and then send us sailing across the seas riding the breeze.   I will not neglect you and will tend to you each and every day, just as long as you continue to ensure me through your actions, and not just words, that you are truly here to stay.
