The Rose


A single red rose was set aside especially for her.
 It stood out from thousands in the garden and was given
 as a symbol of my immortal love.

It was unique and beautiful
                       just as she was.



On the day of her death
 a single red rose was set aside and burned to ashes to our memories and to her gods.
 It was one in a breath of thousands but hers was the only light
 that gave me rhyme and gave me life.

It was unique and beautiful
                       just as she was.
