V-Day Pome!

I brought you roses
Roses full in bloom
Petals soft and red as lips
To be kissed
Curving mischief
Kinking upwards in your crooked smile
That I see
In dreams.

“What are these for?”
You asked.
“I don't know.” A lie.
“Really?” Crook.
One for that smile
One for your grace
And one for your laugh.
One for the way you hold me
One for the wrinkle in your nose
And one for the way you look at me.

Do you remember the day we met?
Do you
Take me
For who I am?
I do
Take you

I do.

I brought you roses
Roses full in bloom
With one bud left unopened
For the love yet to come.
