Love Poem: My Rose

My Rose

One day I shall be your shield
And block the dark arrows of the world
Tearing apart who we are.
I shall be your compass as we sail across the world
I shall be your torch lighting all your dark paths
That you have walked alone so long.
And moments of self doubt
I shall be your music.
No more the chaos of being alone 
Even amidst friends and family
But with me you shall be free
Like the wind blowing through the trees.

And when voices of despair speak to you 
Then smell my rose I have left for you
A scent that shall help you dream away.
Never shall these petals fall to the ground
A secret scent sweeter than honey 
Forever reminding you a love so true.

Now I shall strum these heart strings all night until dawn's light.
I shall play until my fingers bleed
Until I paint a picture with my sound.
A picture painting my rose in the heavens. 
Inscribed across the night sky
Every light in each star resonating our dreams.
So times I cannot be with you
You will look up and remember my love for you.
