A Million Times

I'll write your name with rose petals

And lie them on the bed

Put lilacs on your pillow case

Where you lay your lovely head

Your beauty renders me speechless

My words have run away

You steal my breath, with just one glance

I don't know what to say

Your smile can blind the morning sun

As you cause the flowers to faint

You could make da Vinci more famous

But you're much too perfect to paint

The poets of old lay down their quills

For all of their muses stare

For none can find the words to write

Of a vision, they find so fair

Even the diamond as it touches your skin

Sheds tears in utter disgrace

For no one can see its perfect shine

Compared to your beautiful face

Even the words that I've written here

Are scared of making mistakes

For they've asked me to read it a million times

Or ever how many it takes

So many beautiful lines. This was just lovely and romantic. Can't beat a good ol' love poem that's been nicely penned.
