Cynthia Ferguson Poet Rhyme

The Rose I Won'T Forget

The sun will rise and the sun will set
As a watch your fiery silhouette 
Of memories I cannot forget
Linger on with pain and with regret

That I could never ever find
A way to ease a worried mind
Twisted through the rings of time
The distance your heart beat and mine

I still see in your fiery eyes
In every sunset and each sunrise
Rain washes away our broken skies
Like petals falling off a rose as it dies

Of all the dreams I won’t forget
The sunrise will now forever set
Upon the rose I could not ever get
As I sleep beneath your fiery silhouette

The colors with the moon tonight
All have turned into black and white
As all my memories sleep tonight
Underneath your silhouette in the starry night

Robert Lindley August 20, 2015 at 7:47 AM Ahhh yes, I remember two roses I wanted so badly but was just not to be! Fate has a say in our affairs and often we dearly hate what fate says. Great poem but for me it reminded me of two pretty ladies I knew decades apart but each was a beautiful rose! Solid 7 on this one and a pleasure to read this morn! Cynthia Ferguson September 7, 2015 at 3:17 AM I think we all have those special roses in our lives we had to let go of, thank you Robert
