The Original Version

When Titan faire his beams did display,

In a fresh fountaine, farre from all mens view,

She bath'd her brest, the boiling heat t'alley,

She bath'd with roses red, and violets blew,

And all the sweetest flowers, that in the forrest grew.

A Red Rose Love Poem



A Love Poem By My Husband

Roses are red, violets are blue,

Sugar is sweet, and so are you,

Our love will last forever I knew

Because of memories past and new,

My eyes met yours and you said Hello,

Music was playing soft and low,

I heard an Angel whisper to me,

Take her hand and dance away,

It was a feeling, strange as it seems,

Now I know today, it was love at first sight,

How could this happen to me !

By Tony Piccino February 14,2008

This beautiful poem was written by my dear, sweet and romantic Italian husband and lover Tony Piccino
