Revelations on the floor,
lead eyes unto my bed.
Rather than its emptiness,
a rose I found instead.

Petals were not yet unfurled,
it curled into a ball.
Your naked beauty glowing,
it shimmered off the wall.

A pleasant sight to greet me,
this winter afternoon.
It's weeks since I have seen you,
ensconced within my room.

The finest floral tribute,
I found here in my bed.
Much more than happy birthday,
I've got you here instead.
