A Simple Rose

By: Michael David Coffey

A simple rose, I give you
Plucked from an old briar
An ancient tree of wisdom
Wherein are hidden secrets
Of a thousand nights of love

And with this frail rose,
I give you love eternal
Kissing its pink frailty
In an eternal gesture
Of my desire for you

A simple rose, I give you
A token of my longing,
My wanting
A delicate gift of
Ancient wisdom

A gift of love eternal
That our love may
Be endless
Through all times and
Places

In the ethereal clouds
Of a seductive dream
Of love unwaning
A simple rose...
Eternally for you
