A Delicate Flower

~I’ve been the world all around

known beautiful women in every town~

~Yvonne in particular I must confess

is like picking a delicate flower I can’t resist~

~She hails from Munich Germany within

for her this very poem is being written~

~Like the Rose her smile blooms but in love

giving me the feeling of wanting of~

~The Lily long slender and dressed in white

is as her lengthy body built just right~

~Her eyes green like that of the Cone flower

stole my heart with their enchanting power~

~Her lips full and sweet like that of the Honey suckle

juices of her kiss likened to sugar there’s no rebuttal~

~Her heart is pure brings to light sensations

she blushes in the many colors of the Carnations~

~Like the Wild flower blowing in the wind

her beauty to there is no end~

~Her perfume lingers the scent of Cherry blossoms

and her skin softer than that of the best of Cotton~

~Like that which is radiant in the Morning Glory

her smiles fills my soul with but a love story~

~And as the Mistletoe the flower of affection

she seems to draw my total love and devotion~ 

~The perfect woman in every way 

beautiful as any flower on display~ 

~I will endeavor to tend to her every need and

cultivate her garden of flowery desire the best I can~ 

~Not to be picked as she is an endangered species

a delicate and precious flower in Germany~

The Maiden Yvonne

~The Maiden  Miss Yvonne

from Bayern a German town~

~She’s beautiful in every which way

like that of a perfect red Rose in May~ 

~Her eyes green like those of precious jewels

with just a glance would make men act as fools~

~Her smile brighter than that the sun up above

her skin white like that of a Heavenly dove~

~Soft spoken and gentle as if Angelically born 

like a Fairy tale Princess she’s not but adorned~

~He who wins the heart of this beautiful girl

will surely be the envied from around the world~

~All who know of her come from every land

for the chance to ask for this maiden’s hand~

~In her heart must come only one to be

for her love is meant for all eternity~

~So be it known to all whom are concerned

must in your heart be total love that burns~

~For no man has even with her a chance

at just that of a simple romance~

~Love and only love in your heart must exist

before saying I do and receiving her sweet kiss~
