Blue Rose

Lady

Fair lady I've stayed by your side since birth 

Your mother charged me to watch over you 

And since then my days are filled with such mirth 

A rarity, just like a rose of blue 

For you are kin of man and fairy both 

And thus always denied a married life 

But you found peace and joy within this grove 

The koi fish pond where now, alone, you lie 

Your porcelain finger stirs the deep blue depths 

Aware of each small movement of the fronds 

Such simple joy exceeds the joys of flesh 

Your smile shows that all you need's this pond 

Fair lady, I will never leave you be 

For I'd be lonely if you had not me
