roses
you fill my world with flowers
and as the last rose petals
which you had so lovingly picked for me
fall into my open palm
i do not know sadness
i know only the love with which they were given
and in this moment of understanding
i remember your smile
the light in your eyes
your touch
the soft sensual kiss
and know that these are not
the last tender roses
you have given me
but are the promise of many more
days filled with flowers
love
tenderness
us
