TRAIL OF ROSES

Night reaches out captures the day,

standing in stark darkness I wonder.

Where is my lover, lost in a dream,

thoughts which linger and ponder.

~*~

A trail of velvet red roses,

embracing every memory within.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath,

journey to the places we have been.

~*~

Before time folds ghostly upon us,

turn around, picture me waiting.

Like a Bohemian Rhapsody written,

words to expel any feelings negating.

~*~

Skip fantastic lights fandango,

my love the truth is so easy to see.

Like a virgin's vessel swirling dance,

please return your soul back to me.

~*~

These are the things left behind,

when love crosses thresholds of years.

Riding the wings of a moonlit star,

as separated hearts cry out in tears.

~*~

Remember sensations that shudder,

thus washing our world all anew.

Petals falling like soft clean rain,

each one a drop of iridescent dew.

~*~

A trail of velvet red roses,

embracing every memory within.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath,

journey to the places we have been.
