Dead Roses

By Jennifer Ewing

Author's note: A dear friend of mine (Katherine London woo-hoo, way to go. lol o__O) once said, "Roses symbolize love, right? Well if that's true, then why do roses die?"

They bloom blood red,
But within five days, their dead.
Their once agonizing beauty gone,
Even though of it we were all fond.

Love once was true,
But on we wandered without a clue,
Into the forest of darkness and tears
And without love we took in all our fears.

Love is like roses it blooms and then dies,
Love is a feeling, it has no lasting lies.
Without love we are blind,
Blind to the feelings we are holding inside.

What once was lost,
With one too many cost,
Now is found,
With nothing to do, save to be bound.

Of course you have friends! If you would stay around more often you would know that! You know, you miss alot of stuff when you are gone. *hands tea* I am smack out of chamomile, is grey ok?

Grammer shmammer: it should say "But within five days, they're dead."

It was very meloncholy. I liked your poem, which is impressive since I have great difficulty (usually) even reading an entire poem. Yours is very readable, though sad. Nice work. :)

[Lady Arwen56]

thank you. I'm so entirely sorry for missing that one thing. Forgive me God, I have sinned.

[Lady Arwen56]

Oh, and yes Pip, grey will be fine. *takes cup of tea* Thanx. lol

I liked it a lot, it was indeed very pretty :).

I love roses, and I liked the way you drew it together with love dieing. Very nice. :)

[Lady Arwen56]

thank you very much Tessar.

[Raistlin]

[Lady Arwen56]

*smiles* thank you very very much, Raistlin.

True words dear.

Reading it reminded me of a Rolling Stones song 'Dead Flowers'

So if found, you're bound, but if lost, you are free.
