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.
