My mistress reminds me of a rose 

A sight for sore eyes 

And a delight on the nose 

She is not merely a soft flower 

You see 

Her thorns hurt 

She is not some brainless flirt 

Her beauty is always present in different forms

Even as her petals fall

The sound of her voice is the loveliest call 

She gives me love on the coldest nights

As long as I behave, I’m safe from her frights 

I don’t mean to misbehave my mistress 

I love you 

But me being a mere human, my mistakes are quite a few 

We still dance together and give it a try 

Her energy makes me high 

I don’t drain her of this beautiful gift 

I give back to her 

My love is swift 

My mistress is such a delight 

Beautiful and terrifying 

I love how she looks at night
