Broken rose's

Broken Rose's

In shadows, whispers linger on
Echoes of love that's gone, now lost in the haze
Hearts collide, like shattered glass in the night
Shadows dance, where love died, leaving only emptiness and endless fight

Silence screams, the night's haunting refrain
Memories haunt, like autumn's bitter pain
Tears fall like dew, on petals crushed and grey
Lost love's ghost, I'll still pursue, in dreams, where shadows play

The night's dark veil, it hides the scars we bear
Love's lost flame, flickers like falling stars, without a prayer
Yet in the dark, a glimmer shines, a bittersweet reminder
Of love's haunting signs, forever etched, like a rose's thorns, in my skin ??

Well written, Kabongo. You’ve captured the pain of break-up with good imagery. Long live the poets of Africa. X.
