In the morning hours, the shrill ring
Of birds chirping woke me that day
Many years ago, and I wondered what might be in store
For me. I could feel a quickening love
In my heart so without delay I rose
Up from my warm and comforting bed.

Hastily I threw back the crumpled bed
Covers noticing the marks of a ring
Of water around my crystal rose
Vase where it had been spilt the previous day.
I waited for my partner love
To arrive with a gigantic store

Of fresh lilies from the flower store
As every morning I place freshly cut blooms on our bed-
Side table – to find out that romantic love
Was in the air, as fresh as a ring
Of jasmine scenting the early day.
My heart skipped beats as I was handed a delicate red rose

As my partner bent on one knee, taking me by surprise. After he rose
Up he led me to the jewelry store.
It turned out to be our engagement Day!
We had a lunch of a salad bed
Garnished with a fresh ring
Of condiments as we celebrated our Love.

For ours was no ordinary love
As the most beautiful rose
Could testify, with an engagement ring
To seal the grace held in store
For the rest of our lives and when I went to bed
That night I felt it had been the most perfect day.

A few weeks later, on my wedding Day
A celebration usually reserved for love
We stood near a well-tended garden bed
Of the most beautiful scented rose
Trees and looked forward to a store
Of love and exchanged a wedding ring.

We savored wines the colour of deep rose
And as we embarked on a lifetime in store
For us we listened to the church bells ring

This is an attempt of a sestina inspired by Sam of Another Voice

It might be my one and only sestina ever
