The first was a rose fleshy and rich

Fragrant aroma seducing my heart

Voluptuous petals enfolding my body

Pulling me ever further into its embrace

Sharp thorns clawing at the fabric of my soul

The petals faded the thorns remained

Ensnared entrapped I fought my way free

The second was an oriental lily of exotic beauty

Senses overcome by the softness of its petals

I fell into its arms and felt my virility

Feeding its voracious need and ever sinking

Its pistils stained my body and soul

Having given my all with nothing left to give

Cast away as my use and abuse ended

The third was a jasmine delicate and fragrant

Perfume wafted to me in waves of bliss

Delicate petals titillating my senses

Butterfly kisses fluttering over my body

Drawing me ever further into its embrace

My love is enduring as it perpetually renews

From season to season ever growing ever giving

Petals fade and are refreshed in ever growing profusion

As we grow together in love and complicity

Dark green leaves forming the bed of our lust.

Ever growing we share our bodies and souls

Your petals drawing me by their subtle fragrance

In this Garden of Eden now I repose

My body replete my soul now at peace

Joy fills my heart knowing you exist
