A Heavenly Rose

Thou art a heavenly rose below an endless sky of the calmest blue
And for my love of you I can define no boundaries
Promise me the freedom to know every door of your love
And I shall promise you every service beneath the sun,
For ours is the fun of flesh to seek as is the love that makes
Our knees grow weak, I want you, need you, wish for you
To find yourself within my embrace, naked and crying tears
Of joy in the knowledge that I am there for you, below the blue
Caressing the scent and sweetness of such a heavenly rose.
