A rose
---alee
Blood red velvet
---alee
Flushed with expectation
---alee
My eyes close upon it's secrets
---alee
I breathe in the silken promises
---alee
Contained within
---alee
A web of language
---alee
Intricately weaved
---alee
To capture and delight
---alee
Caressing my senses
---alee
Exciting my emotions
---alee
More than all the glory that fills
---alee
The evening skies
---alee
A rose he gave
---alee
Yet so much more
