A scattering of scarlet
enveloped in the midst
Beauty so entrancing
of breath within a kiss ~
Harmony embracing
the soul within the song
Music to the very ears
a sense that I belong.

Scarlet petals whisper
fragrant with perfume
Kiss my skin of milky white
as each rose sheds its bloom ~
Embracing me with such delight
each moment I am blessed
To find the velvet touch of love
beneath your warm caress.

Dreams become reality
wishes from my heart
Roses flood this sea I'm in
and scatter in your path ~
Sweetened by the fragrance
a taste of sheer beauty
And picture this, just me and you
within love's destiny.

Draped in nothing but scarlet
feel the velvet touch
Of petals that embrace me now
as I await your love ~
A sea of scarlet surrounds me
in beauty so defined
By hopes and wishes from the heart
suspending us time.

Dream a little dream of me
beneath the soft caress
Of velvet petals on my skin
and your sheer nakedness ~
Shower me forever love
with wishes from the heart
For roses may be red, my love,
but my dream is where you are.
