'Till red petals turn black,
'till green leaflets lose hue;
I will stay by your side,
I will always stay true.

My rose, I love you.

'Till life wants my soul back,
'till time's left to a few;
I will stay by your side,
I will always stay true.

My rose, I love you.

If time resets the clock,
if life was once more new;
I will seek far and wide,
Until my soul finds you.

And I'll stay by your side,
I will always stay true.

My rose, I love you.

First of all, Nympha sounds like a beautiful name!

Wow... this is a beautiful love poem too. The imagery in the first stanza really pulled me into wanting to read more of it. The flow in it is fantastic.

I suggest using the word "anew" in the third stanza. I think just because it follows the meter.

the spelling and the grammar is great. I do not think there's much else to critique within in this poem because it is so elegantly written. Each line shows the detail that you seem to have kept up with well. I love it!

I especially like the recurring lines within in each stanza. This poem is great! Keep up with the good writing!

Thank you. :) In the third stanza, did you mean changing the second line to "if life was once anew"? Okay. I'll update it in a while. :)

Excuse my language but jebuz frickin christ you are good.

I love love poems, and I loved yours, especially rows 11-14. I hope she loved it as much as I did :)
Shes a lucky gal, having such a good boyfriend as she has <3

(I found no grammatical errors, and to put it shortly it was magnificent)

Keep up the good work :)

Thank you for taking the time to read my poem. :)

Awww, this is so sweet! I love so much about this poem, I can't even find any grammatical mistakes to correct! It has a kind of lyrical feeling to it, these would be great song lyrics I think :)
The rhyme scheme really makes it though, the couplets compliment each other really well, and aagh i just love this!

Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!Well done!
