Rose Petals

I felt her loveliness

slipping inside my skin

to nestle next to my heart.

She brushed our world

with sublime paint strokes,

blurred flashbacks

of memory upon her brow.

She touched the promise

of rose petals in soft blush

as the sun sketched

roadway to her open soul.

She offered the sweet scent

of her neck in depth

of her love and caring,

passion soaring

above the filmy clouds.

I watched the beauty

of her like melting butter

on toast, meandering

through life and love,

together with me,

in the melody of

our shared song

wandering on our path

of soft blades of grass.
