You want to requite my love;

You want to requite my love;
You already have with a ring
And many years of life
So this I command you to bring:

A bouquet of chocolate flowers
Each with a nice, dark button
Comparable to your eyes
And a fragrance as divine.

Put it together with care –
Tape it inconspicuously –
Present it when I’m caught unawares
And you have hours to give me.

Such a bouquet – bright and simple –
As native as the mourning dove –
Would be a challenge worthwhile
Your time and your love.
