In the Autumn of a rose
   petals shall fall where they may
   the fragrance of once known love
   carries mamories each day ...

When and wherever they fall
   shed by an aches empty rain
   tears carried upon still wind
   to be grounded in its pain

Flowers exists for beauty
   and the gift of endless love
   but without her warm petals
   its winter she will die of

In the Autumn of a rose ...
   carries memories each day

"In life's giving ... love is a gift, such worth living."

If it wasn't right, wasn't real ...
then why did it make us feel ....?

Beautifully melancholic ... but the fragrance will carry the memories far far into the future ...

Love,
