first rose has opened
fragrance of petals invites
bee to come and dine
...
I walked away from the rose,
leaving it to glow and grow.
I have no regrets whatsoever
Yet the hurt loiters with tears
...
as she gazed those eyes
it reflected emptiness
like thorns piercing heart
taking the blood away from
...
Life of a rose
scent so rare
bloom so bright
a symbol of love
...
