Roses & Poetry.....

A Red Rose means Love, Respect, Courage and Passion
There is much beauty and strength to be found in a rose...
Nature's gift, given to heal a broken heart, a wounded soul.
Love is like a red, red rose,
that blooms and flowers, until it dies,
and then becomes a beautiful, sad, sweet memory,
faded, pressed and sealed away in the scrapbook of your heart.....

A Pink Rose means Gratitude, Appreciation, Admiration, and Perfect Happiness
Because I love you

I miss you ...and I will wait,
for no matter how great the miles between us,
you are with me in my mind, heart and soul,
because I love you...
I can close my eyes and imagine I see you,
talking with your friends and laughing...and I will wait,
hoping one day you will talk and laugh with me too...
because I love you...
I wish you beautiful sunsets to close your days
and cool breezes to rest you,
I see you sleeping, and want to hold you,
long to touch you and caress you...and I will wait,
because I love you...
So I spilled moonlight upon your face....and I will wait,
hoping one day my hands may follow the path
the moonlight traced upon your skin...
because I love you...
I send that thought to you every day in blue skies,
and in quiet green grasses...
I whisper it through the leaves in the trees,
and breathe it in the colors of the flowers.
I shout it to you from mountain peaks...
and sing it to you with the songs of birds...
I have made my choice and I will wait,
because I love you....

A Yellow Rose means Friendship, Joy, Gladness and Freedom

As a frightened baby bird,
I lay on the cold ground, alone
fluttering helplessly...
I long for the gentle touch
of someone's caring hands...
to lift me, carry me, and hold me
up to the warmth of the sun,
repairing the damage, healing the pain and
safely returning me to the security of my nest.

A White Rose means Silence, Innocence, Purity, Secrecy and Reverence

Seduces Me

Everything you are
Everything you'll be
Touches the current of love
so deep in me
Every sigh in the night
Every tear that you cry
Seduces me

And all that I am
And all that I'll be
means nothing at all
If you can't be with me
Your most innocent kiss
Or your sweetest caress
Seduces me

I don't care about tomorrow
I've given up on yesterday
here and now is all that matters
Right here with you is where I'll stay

Everything in this world
Every voice in the night
Every little thing of beauty
Comes shining thru in your eyes
And all that is you becomes part
of me too
'Cause all you do seduces me

....words by Dan Hill


I Wish

I wish I could steal a star
and put it in a big box,
so that anytime you wanted to,
you could take it out to make a wish...
and all your dreams would come true

I wish I could give you an island,
a place to belong to you alone,
a place to find peace and solace,
in those moments,
when you are down and need to feel free

I wish I could be with you,
when you are lonely or sad...
or when you just need someone
to hold you in their arms

I wish I could do this and even more,
just to make you happy...
But it sometimes is hard for me,
to obtain those things for which I wish...

So, until I learn to capture a star
or build you an island,
I wish you would accept
that which I already have to give...
....my love


After a while you learn the subtle difference,
between holding a hand,and chaining a soul...
And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning,
and company doesn't mean security...
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts,
and presents aren't promises...
And you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes open,
with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child...
And learn to build all your roads on today,
because tomorrow's ground is so uncertain for plans...
And future's have a way,
of falling down in mid-flight...
After a while you learn that even sunshine
burns if you get too much...
So you plant your own garden, and decorate your own soul,
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers...
And you learn that you really can endure,
that you really are strong, and you really do have worth...
And you learn and learn...
With every good-bye, you learn...
