If Roses were poems, <br />Id lie down all day, <br />Picking the petals, <br />to count out dismay, <br /> <br />If clouds were dreams, <br />I would watch them all day, <br />Hoping the Sandman, <br />Wouldn't take you away, <br /> <br />If you were a princess, <br />Like the fairytales of old, <br />Id ride my white horse, <br />to save <br />Your perilous world, <br /> <br />But if my heart was as its feeling today, <br />Itd swell like a ballon, <br />Then burst, <br />To dead weight, <br /> <br />And if you are who you are, <br />Which you will always be, <br />Ill be hoping in vain, <br />That youll ever see me... <br /> <br />~For a Flower, <br />Sitting amongst the rows, <br />Yet beauty stands her taller, <br />than she'll ever know.<br /><br />Andrew Rose<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-rose-s-were-poems/
