The New Rose

I’ve been asked to name a new variety of rose . . .

Hmm, I wonder . . .

Red velvet lined the ring’s box when you, on your knees, proposed to me.

Red velvet cradled the rings at our bonding. Red velvet the coverings to our marriage bed. Red velvet the curtains in our homely bedroom.

Red’s always been your favourite colour, always your starting point for paintings, for passion, for poetry.

“A red velvet sunset”, you say as we watch daylight turn to twilight. “Red velvet are your lips” you whisper in the night-time.

Not so difficult then . . .

“Red Velvet”, I name it.

~End~

Awwwwww! Every now and then I love a good hefty dose of well-done romance ;) Just a little secret for you: the little VigBean muses who live in my head are pretty much the same in your story - they're happily married and domesticated and are into sunsets. Of course, my muses also squabble good-naturedly about football, the garden and whose turn it is to take the garbage out....

I always look forward to your fics and drabbles. Thanks so much for posting this one!

Ah domestic bliss . . .

Yes, I truly do see them just like you - an old married couple - so this was a truly wonderful comment to receive.

Thank you ever so much.
