My Heartfelt Message Of Love... Poem by Denis Martindale

From my sweet heart to my sweetheart,
The words flowed fancy-free,
To summon up the wordsmith's art,
Imparting poetry...
And in those minutes flying past,
Those verses shared my love,
For I loved her from first to last
And hoped this proved enough...

I bought a single soft pink rose
And placed it in her hand,
Then spoke the words my poem chose
To help her understand...
She looked at me and then she smiled,
She blushed then kissed my cheek,
That's why I stared, transfixed, beguiled,
Just like a child so weak...

And so right there, I prayed again,
Our lips came into touch,
She held my rose, much closer then,
Because it meant so much...
I can't explain how glad I felt,
That poem changed my world,
I took a chance from cards life dealt...
And now that girl's my girl...
