Red Rose Longings, Blown In Cool Morning Breeze

Red Rose Longings, Blown In Cool Morning Breeze With sad heart I gazed upon a red rose Mockingbird sings clearly, morning breeze blows. Sun had deeply embraced bright blue skies Beautiful images gave such lovely highs! There I sat on our long wooden front porch Fighting to re-light memory's great torch. For what else could add to this wondrous scene I in silence, had loved her since a teen! Alas! Sorrow, since such was not returned Yet this aching heart still so hotly burned. Nothing left but thoughts of all I would miss Her gentle touch, her delicious kiss! Sat in a trance thinking only of her Time tries to make such memories a blur! I fight so hard to keep lost love alive For this my weeping soul will always strive! With sad heart I gazed upon a red rose Mockingbird sings clearly, morning breeze blows. Sun had embraced deeply bright blue skies Beautiful images gave such lovely highs! Robert J. Lindley, 6-10-2017 Rhyme- (Ancient Longing Thoughts) http://www.lindleypoetry.com/
