My Rose
to have seen you
is to have been blessed by the sight of an angel.
my eyes are blessed
* * *
to have touched you
is to have your hand scalded by the brilliance of beauty
my hand is beautifully burned
* * *
to have breathed you
is to have known how sheer poetry feels
my lungs know what poetry feels
* * *
to have tasted you
is to have known what ambrosia truly is
i know why the gods drank from such sweetness
* * *
to have loved you
is to have been granted a wish.
my wish has been fulfilled
* * *
you have made me feel as no other has
and have made me feel complete,
for you are my beautiful desert rose
and i shall love you
always
