Wilted Heart Tanka

At calm of mourning
wake not this rose of my heart
it dreams of love's beat
embracing thorns and petals
wilting in yesterday lost

beautiful tanka
showing rosepetals and thorns
protecting sweet dreams
floating upon lover's beat
don't awake rose for mourning

A beautiful metaphorical poem linking a past love to the qualities of the rose!
