With a rose in hand

Wednesday,22nd August 2018

 

I dreamed only her

and ran after

wherever she moved

and almost proved

 

not that she was pretty smart

or looked a piece of an art

but I wanted her from the very start

and make her to be the part

 

I was unsure

about the future

I wanted to give her

"is it a great honor"?

 

I found no answer

but heart very much responded and uttered

"Yes, she is my heaven"

I shall think about none

 

"Hello. gentleman! how far shall you follow"?

and blow

the same tune

I am here and not going anywhere

 

I didn't fail for the moment

and seized the event

"I am with you at present"

I smiled at her and bent self with the rose flower in hand
