-=* Roses, Violets and You *=-

Roses are lovely to look at,

It's true.

And Violets delight

in their purple and blue.

But both of these flowers

grow pale in the light.

For I have seen you

while I'm dreaming at night.

I asked you your name

but you laughingly said,

That true names were secret

and giggled instead.

But your giggles infected,

I chuckled as well.

And never went searching

For what you'd not tell.

I still plant the flowers

of spring, red and blue.

But someday I'll give them

all up, just for you.
