"Pick, girl,
the flowers while
they are still fresh
and the youth is new,
remembering that
the time goes by. "
Decimius Magnus Ausonius (ca. 310–395)
Enter thy Rose Garden
Seize the day
While the Rose blooms
Kissed by morning dew
perfumed sky
petals of love bloom
Swirling, dancing, singing
bees buzzing
intoxicated on nectar
Sweet scented petals
Lovely thing to see
Fragrance lingers on
Red Hair in the Sun
Quickens the Heart
At the Sight of You
Filling me with Desire
Fragrant Blossoms
Touched my Soul
Entwined together
in a timeless moment
of Moonlight Passion
Come Carpe diem baby
Sweetly Surrender
This moment won't last
Memories of the sweet taste
You taunted and teased
Left me yearning with desire
Roses bloom
in the warm sun
Too soon fade away
