Petals
Whispers abound
like petals on the wind
Trying to catch the sound
Sounds like, I have sinned
Sinned in thought or deed
is my next question, "why
had you the need"
Thought this must be a lie
All those odd occasions
when you went out alone
Were they secret liaisons?
Were you on your own?
Were our shared kisses
meaningless to you.
The heartbeat misses
that making love will do
I picked a rose,
Lost myself in its perfume
Heavy and wet as with tears
Petals I have strewn
