Upon our porch swing one beautiful night with moonlight and stars aglow,<\/span><\/p>\n

White moonflower filled the air with aroma while moonbeams made it glow<\/span>,<\/p>\n

It was eighteen years ago I made a discovery of you I had not known before,<\/span><\/p>\n

As we cuddled in the breeze you commented about the flowers you adore,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A red rose had come in bloom and was parting its petals for all to see,<\/span><\/p>\n

Somehow I was struck by the moment when a similarity of love came to me,<\/span><\/p>\n

Although it was under moonbeams and stardust, her rapture was apparent,<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps it was affection given the rose of red that she blossomed till spent,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I do believe even a heart of stone must feel something when roses bloom,<\/span><\/p>\n

Even more so for a rose of red with petals so divine it carries aroma to a room,<\/span><\/p>\n

You are the rose of red, my angel, with eyes of hazel to compliment the red,<\/span><\/p>\n

Red lips, moonbeams, aroma of Rose and moonflower saturated my head,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Truly, I felt faint within my manhood and I was so affected that night by you,<\/span><\/p>\n

I had needed you forever it seems, but that night I discovered more you do,<\/span><\/p>\n

Your eyes seemed to set stardust aglow with magical violin music in play,<\/span><\/p>\n

We held our embrace after our moonlight dance and both wanted to stay,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Magic! So much magic filled the air that night and we made love right there,<\/span><\/p>\n

Red rose magic created that moment and I recall love’s energy in the air,<\/span><\/p>\n

From that night I grew roses for you of every color, fragrance, and hue,<\/span><\/p>\n

And how I grew roses, do you remember the two thousand roses I grew,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I delight in your smile and I study each twinkle your angel eyes create,<\/span><\/p>\n

Growing roses for you brought smiles from heaven as I neared the gate,<\/span><\/p>\n

Soon the abundance came and each day I was privileged to be the man,<\/span><\/p>\n

The delivery man, bringing roses for you but most of all grown by my hand,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is so true my sweet angel the room was set aglow by your essence,<\/span><\/p>\n

Your smile so perfect and twinkling eyes wide with awe and I in presence,<\/span><\/p>\n

As we’d leave your office that I could take you to lunch, I felt to be more,<\/span><\/p>\n

It was I that grew the vases of roses that brought your eyes to adore,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That your friends were in awe that so many roses of color were there,<\/span><\/p>\n

Even more they were astounded by my devotion to the angel of long hair,<\/span><\/p>\n

And that made me feel good, for a moment I was that man you so deserve,<\/span><\/p>\n

Soon I hope we will dance in our new garden of roses if I have the nerve,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That I may have that dance, it takes courage for me as if I was still a teen,<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it memories of a time way back or can it be much simpler that I mean,<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet I feel this as I anticipate your hold, I know your breast will press to me,<\/span><\/p>\n

All of this began by a rose thus I grew roses to bring a smile that I may see,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I anticipate a dance with rose petals of colors spread upon the dance floor,<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps a renewal of vows in our home, once a church and we made it more,<\/span><\/p>\n

Our special home where I pray we remain to grow roses of color for you,<\/span><\/p>\n

Roses will abundantly grow and I will again deliver to you a bouquet or two,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then again in a future bright a renewal of vows after we are given twenty more,<\/span><\/p>\n

An elderly man will pull you tight to gaze into your eyes and say, “you I adore,”<\/span><\/p>\n

With you in my arms I will cross into the threshold of time and he will be no more,<\/span><\/p>\n

Whispering to you, “I’m so sorry, my angel, it seems I left my love on the dance floor.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The end, by Pat<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don’t cry my angel but read the line of twenty years more, what a blessing that would be.<\/span> <\/p>\n

I love you my sweet little hazel eyed angel.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
