I bought you just one white rose <br />with velvet petals and such sweet scent <br />as flowers may in full blooming hold, <br />with a blush of pink, not shy or bashful <br />but proclaiming bold, such beauty to behold, <br />imbued with such freshness that delights the sight <br />and a tenderness to touch, that touch delights. <br /> <br />What more could be said by words <br />or bouquets of thoughts diverse <br />resplendent with poetic verse <br />that might a myriad of qualities <br />seek to evoke, from I that spoke; <br />to you. <br /> <br />No just a single rose, a single beauty's eye, <br />for what is love if it cannot be expressed <br />by just one perfect rose, <br />the one that's best, <br />and has no comparison <br />with any less.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valentines-gift/
