Rose's Winter Garden

Floruit her beauty, an invite for morning bliss

Rosehip bursting, the caress of a springtime lover

Entangled with vigour, flush excitement for another

Anticipation of summer, petals invite the first kiss

Cheeks aglow, lovers embrace the summer breeze

Dreamy sunrise, dancing feet muted atop meadow grass

Effervescent bubbles, love painting the champagne glass

Forested frolic, commitments abound with careless ease

Wishful plans astir, joyful the tumble from a garden bed

Cuddling the summer solstice, nary a whisper of frost

Caressing her soft skin, unimaginable the ultimate cost

Lion's month, quicken of arousal whilst love is fed    

Autumn approaches, nature dons her golden dress

Garden fence sways, morning breath speaks of chill

Dancing birds depart, dusts of snow discover Rose still

Vibrancy cedes to pastel, love lost yet slow to egress

Old man brushes the garden white, the last petals fall   

Dormant becomes the stem, resting 'til the dawn of spring

Footfalls in a snowy garden, another lover soon to sing   

Dance anew dear Rose, thrilling has been nature's call
