A red red rose

I gaze at her in wonder and surprise
That delicate rose silently in bloom
Her dainty beauty just dazzles my eyes
And I am lost in her enchanting perfume
The crystal clear pearls that gracefully shine
Are dewdrops in the morn or angel’s tears
That burning petals like entrancing wine
Before her I forget the fleeting years
Allow me to become a tiny drip
And gently melt into her silent dream
Or be a butterfly to kiss her lip
And dance forever to her graceful beam
I’m here to stay with her and never part
To feel her breath, aroma and her heart

Your sonnet is really great in its beauty and form. I like the rhyme scheme /a-b/a-b/.
Sister, but one thing I should say... why was it not written by me?
Moonriver, the couplet is just what I feel...

I’m here to stay with her and never part
To feel her breath, aroma and her heart

With best wishes...!
Yours lovingly,
Gopal.
