Beauty Be
By Lisa Noe

The glorious sweet smell of the forbidden red rose
Symbolizes the beautiful love we feel for one another
Honeysuckle climbs the fence in the garden near the rose bush
I accept your sweet kisses upon my tiny little nose
It makes my heart pound and makes it speedily flutter
You pour me a sparkling glass of white wine
As you whisper in my ear, I giggle, telling you to shush
Your sweet nothings make me feel special at this time.
