asian roses

i fell in love with asian roses dancing in full bloom

the moon was full and it exposed the bed within her room

her skin was like the satin sheets that wrapped around her bed

breath to breath and lips to lips and i was gently led

into the secrets of the east that she revealed that night

the thorny stems were velvet whims that took me to new heights

the moon bled love upon her face more radiant than stars

eternally i longed to trace her flesh with a devoir

i whispered one more beautiful does not exist on earth

i’d live and die a million times to show her what she’s worth

and as i found her fragile wings unfolding in my arms

i found the moment in-between the memory of charms

and said the words forever heard by goddess, queen and dove

her beauty is enough for me to always be in love
