On Bended Knee

It's a 10/40 written for Tovli's Advanced Ten Word challenge

 

On Bended Knee   Rose’s perfume, nighttime’s air Presence of her, my lady fair Oblivion sweeps cares away   Purer view, clear as glass Evening sky, softest grass Serene, I feel; time ticks away   Merciful as love can be, Will she answer “yes” to me?

Truly enjoy the look of the illustration, it adds so much to the words! Although the words fit the contest requirements, they appear natural, smooth. Good luck!
