Urban Poet

In the garden of delight
Where the blood red roses bloom

Two lovers lay beneath the canopy
With lute, poetry and wine

Take from me my veil
Where the blood red roses bloom

You are my beloved
The possessor of my heart

Stay with me in this place
Until the dawn’s first light

We laid that night beneath the
Moon, with poetry and wine

I awoke in the garden of delight
Where the blood red roses bloom

Alone among the cushions
Without my heart’s delight

Where the lute and poetry once played
Lay the veil and a single blood red rose
