As rose’s red or violet’s blue

With passion deep and love as true.

I cannot help but sigh and stare

And turn my back on all but care

For you my love and you alone

And try I might just to atone

For lacks in such from those before

I wish to ask you here therefore

To take my hand in yours for now

The want to leave I won’t allow

Yet in the passing days to come

I know not when nor where to-from

I’ll see the face what haunts my dreams

Your face my love which rides the seams

Of our endless forever state

Holding our hearts at heaven’s gate

Regardless take my word in ink

That lust nor longing would dare sink

Beyond the point of no return

For I do still have yours to earn
