The Shores of Alone

(First in a rose series)

A lonely rose upon the foor
makes me contemplate so much more
days that you used to run to me
nights of together warm and free.

Remember when you gave the rose
which lies in dust under my toes?
It symbolizes such a loss
our love has gone, 'tis no small cost.

What changed so much over the years
to make us naught but bitter tears?
From warm to cold that withers dry
and still I have to wonder why.

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

If it was love, why hadn't it withstood the passing of time?

I wished for the answers myself ... ...

When red of rose lies at thy feet
as heart does call and sound retreat
Thence one shall rise, return thy beat
from love of rose, beauty complete.

Beautifully sad Sandra....I thought I was
the one that wrote all the sad stuff??

No...you do it toooo well..

What a beautiful poem comes from this sadness.
