A Red, Red Rose
My love is like a red, red rose
That's newly sprung in June:
My love is like the melody
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in love am I:
And I will love thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
And I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only love,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again, my love,
Thou' it were ten thousand mile.
Robert Burns

Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy VDay
I like this poem, it reminds me of one of my favorite books, Tam Lin by Pamela Dean... it's in the book and it just clicks 
I am not saying you started it, but your participation keeps it purring.
Happy Valentine's Day
I love that poem. Happy V-Day to you!
June. June. Not February!

Happy V Day!
Planted near my path one day
Was discovered a red, red rose
Pausing to admire this remarkable beauty
I pressed it to my nose
The fragrant aroma that it gave
Made it’s beauty more intense –
As I breathed in its fragrant aroma
I became intoxicated with its scent…
She is fragile
She is delicate
She is lovely beyond compare
She is a beauty
A sight to behold
Truly a discovery –
Extremely rare
She is fragile
She is delicate
Yet her defenses are always there
Hold her gently
To avoid injury
Handle her with care
Planted near my path one day
Was discovered a red, red rose...
