Withered Rose

hope is gone, for the rose has witherd.

my wings lay broke

i may not fly.

his eyes are tired

lost from all color.

and i may watch

as he slowly dies.

i show no pain

no laughter

nor fear.

but  he can tell from only one tear.

 

my garden lay lifeless

for my wing have curled

then seen torn from

my acing woons

i watch him

his memory

like movies played back to back.

those times we spent,

those times we lack

to even hav spent.

seem only a dream.

 

i tell you now, my withered rose

why must u make those times

frozen in my brain,

so hopeful

so close?

Keep writing...........

You're onto something.You have a particularly unique voice. It just needs to be further honed and polished so hone and polish away. Try to imagine  the poems you will be writing 10, 20, 30 even 40 years from now. That is a self inspiring thought when one thinks about it. I use to do it when I was in my late teens and early 20's. My gut tells me from what I've read of yours so far that you will far surpass your own dreams of your future self if you but keep writing.......... Widen that path to the deep inner self until it is a well paved and maintained six lane highway..............Sincerely, an early fan, Melissa
