Lonna Blodgett Poet Rhyme

Tone of the Rose

Sweet Tupelo moments when that summer did swell
Ever so quietly reminiscent of the roses constant bloom
In the halo of joy's affection strewn by winds that quell
The silence of imperfection between hearts failing gloom

We adored the touch of skin and smiles that delight
Shadowed in longing dreams of passion's tone and fervent heat
Belied in parting words of summoned sorrow and sullen spite
Our uncertain bridge lay broken as we crossed in our retreat

Hope has no direction when the deed has spoken it's flower's doom
Our lies set free from truths rejection help our hearts to mend
But ever so quietly reminiscent of the roses constant bloom
My heart still feels those times of warmth for love to begin again
