Sweet Rose

Alan R

The creek runs a sweet course

Sidewalks intersect this rose tree

Bent in the heavy of its own force

Whispers a cherished melancholy 

 

Pink, like a scandal of the sun and the stars

Begging to become an untold story

It its own, on its own, plays with the wind

In fragrance, defying all other glory

 

For against their charm, I cannot win

The spring rain has these roses drenched

I had no time, now I'm all in

And with that, I got my heart quenched.

 

-Al

    Such a pity we don’t have more time to stand and stare at the drenched roses. Beautiful poetry Alan.
