........Roses For You

Like a caged bird, rooted still by thorny briar To kiss the very centre of pleasure’s fire, The queen of beauty unfolds to caress mine eyes Tis nature’s flaming red wonder that never dies, Nay you live joyous in many a fair maidens cheek As now my joy on the happiness plane doth peak, So my beauty pieces of thee I snip oh rosy queen For my love will know to the rose garden I’ve been. My wages handsomely paid by your golden smile A kiss then joy as you pose and enhance the posies Red roses, yellow and white by a mile beguile An’ life is I hope coming up as...for everything’s roses
