A White Rose

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.

But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

~ John Boyle O'Reilly (1844-1890)






i love this poem for the fact that it reminds me of my fiancee.
he means the world to me and im increadibly happy to have him in my life.
i m glad he is always there for me when i need someone to be.

this reminds me of him because....
to me he is my red rose, like my falcon
i love white roses so id be like the white rose, and i love doves.
