Each moment with you
Is a rose with satin
Soft petals of gold.
The perfect bud unfolds
Perfectly to reveal the
Velvet perfection of its heart.
I drop salt into
The water of time
To hold each instant in eternity.
And each petal when it falls
I gather up against my heart
And its scent lingers sweetly
Throughout all memory.
