The Rose In My Hand
I hold a rose in my waiting right hand,
it feels alive and soft and light like air;
and here, I weep for you in a new land,
far off above the clouds- a place so fair.
Our love was like this rose so fresh and new,
then, you were gone your bloom now grows above;
all I have left is rose wet with death's dew,
and sweet, sweet thoughts of you to ever love.
I stand and cry- then, rose changes slowly,
her soft petals wither and fall, she fades;
I fall upon my knees with words holy,
her bright crimson, now gone to ink like shades.
Red wine, berry, raisin she fades, to dead,
my love is gone- above his petals bled.
