Etched in the illusion of time

spindling stems
fragrant roses
sun light pours
over their broken bodies

crushed.

'tween the pages of a picture book

opened.

remembered by my gentle fingers
watching
as the petals rift and tear 'neath my touch
reminiscent
of my tingling heart

brown eyes
staring transfixed into the sky
enraptured
though the days of summer fade

still lying
still surviving

and I burn
my soul
to be scattered as incense
twixt the trees

I am sweet briar
tea rose
royal sunset
that climbs the walls of your love

rejected.

crushed.

let me become those petals
and reside amid yellowed pages of a picture book
forever.

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.--"Romeo and Juliet"

I get the vision of a person who wants to be with his/her lover for such a long time that the memory endures forever in a photo album. The beauty of nature, such as in flowers, even as they are crushed and have faded over such a long period of time within the album seems to be in symetry with the subject matter.

Am I close?
