Love Poem # 242
To Find A Rose (As Fair As Thee)
To find a rose as fair as thee,
As bright as thine rosy cheeks,
One can ne'er imagine,
For of your face God speaks.
Thine beauty is the bright sun,
Laughter blossoming petals of rose,
To find a love as fair as thee
Is a quest that no man knows.
Find a rose as fair as thee,
And I shall be defeated sound,
Alas! There exists no rose,
For thou art found!
Thine love is like summer's grace
Always passionate and heated,
The warmth of your embrace
Leaves mine breath depleted.
So fair thou art - Aphrodite
Might hide her unwanted face,
For only thee, fairest blossom rose,
Can occupy her space.
