...and the rose cries

crimson memories fall
thorns of the past prick
sturdy and yet weak
witness to pain...and pleasure
drowning in the mist of you
swallowed by a kiss of your scent
unfolding petals longing
to drink of passion...
once us
then wilting in the shade...
alone
... and the rose cries

I love when I read a piece, and I can see the image unfolding in my mind. There is something so sad, and somewhat final about a wilting rose...I suppose that's why we have the rose bush itself...always the hope of a new blossom. (rambling here) Have I ever told you just how much I enjoy your writing?

roses are one of my favorite topics, naturally, and I loved this one.  I thought about the fragrance left behind, but also the hope of another bloom.
