The rose garden

You, white winter rose

frozen in a pale dawn ,

that the rays of a cold sun 

 don\'t warm ...

Here ,you are ,yellow rose 

of autumn betrayal ,

departure deprived of redemption

damnation without any return ....

Proud red rose of the triumphant summer

with thorns that ripes like  a dagger !

Bloodshed by fathers 

who will never see the child again ...

Black rose ,mourning the joyful 

springtime\'s  hours ...

Seasons green the abandoned stone,

voice , vanishing  in the  nowhere ...

  Who were you ? 

 The mud of the wild rose garden 

clings to my step...

I remember the softness of a morning,

walking alone in the bare alleys 

 of peace regained ,imploring grace...

  Will they bloom again 

the blazing flowers of my carefree youth ?
