An Autumn Rose
An Autumn Rose
No sunlight passes through the cloak of grey
That lies upon this quiet autumn day.
Trees, bedecked with sparkling drops of dew
Compliment my inner thoughts of you.
A single rose bud sits with drooping head
Amidst this sad and mournful floral bed
Which yesterday, or so it now would seem
Was vibrant as a young and healthy dream.
Just wishing can't restore the chance to bloom
As I had wished whilst sitting in your room,
Where, deep in sleep, you never blinked an eye
In answer to my words, a last goodbye.
A final effort, try to live for me,
And be my rose for all eternity.
