Fading Memories
Fading Memories
for just a moment
our love existed
then like a mist
it was gone
the sight of red roses growing
in backyards
remind me of the time
we spent together
and seared petals
that bloomed to early
withered in the light
herbs thriving in drooping baskets
from rooftops
makes me think of you
prosperous veggies
in the backyard
make me smile
the thing I missed the most
is your strong shoulders
taking me in your arms
carrying my weaken body
into your palace
