As The Roses Turned To Brown Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE
As The Roses Turned To Brown
I saw the last light ending
Of the love I'd treasured long,
The birds that rested in the trees
No longer had a song,
And there stood I without a friend
Alone within this town,
And watched the summer fading
As the roses turned to brown.
Their withered heads hung limply
As they draped unto the floor,
Those flowers there that gave me joy
Gave nothing anymore,
For through that mass of twisted thorns
Where all my hopes did drown,
I saw the pain unending
As the roses turned to brown.
When 'neath that arbour where we'd kissed
I thought you were my Queen,
Who'd be with me for evermore
Yet luck was cruel and mean,
Where once I'd felt just like a King
I lost my golden crown,
That melted to the sunset
As the roses turned to brown.
What can I say that hasnt all ready been said, with each sadden line beneath each brown turned pedal lies a heavy heavy heart. This is so beautifull, and filled with so much emotion, it brought tears to my eyes. Andrew Blakemore, you are one tallented writter... BRAVO! Bonnie
The narration of the love story is so touching and beautiful. I really enjoyed reading it. fantastic imagery! 12th August, London
Andrew, It the surprising poem... The grief extends to all parties. I read it as the requiem prelude... You have lost crown of dream also as the rose has lost the crown of its petals... 10... Kindest regards, Tsira
A beautiful melancholy poem Andrew. Beautiful in that it melts my heart and tells a story with superb images. The refrain speaks to me and I will go back and read it again and again. Top marks! Karin Anderson
Stunning image! And the poem was as melancholy as a Pierrot clown. Andrew sometimes I believe that we need the pain of loss and disillusion in order to create poems like this one - which capture the minor key with grace and finesse. Beautiful. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
