<strong>Red Roses</strong><br><br>
I fly into your eyes<br><br>
like a moth skirts<br>
another dance around the<br>
perimeter of torch flames<br><br>
like on subtitles<br>
at foreign matinees, my eyes<br>
on yours are spellbound<br><br>
like the pleading of crying violins<br>
your voice finds the path <br>
to my deepest soul<br><br>
like crème brûlée lingering<br>
on my tongue, I want to<br>
taste more of your kisses<br><br>
...and your love, like<br><br>
soft on silk,<br>
red on roses<br>
and sweet on youth<br><br>
leaves its permanence<br>
upon my heart<br><br>
