Gold Roses

Joanna Garrido

I dreamt I walked in gardens green

where roses ornate gold

were once a blush, a maiden’s flush  

Embalmed, their secrets hold

 

Their fragrance was metallic  

no aromatic scent  

Gone their perfumed essence  

Their days of youth were spent

Encapsulated, hardened hearts  

Their cries could not unfold  

As they once felt the Midas touch  

That trapped them in pure gold
