Truce

This rose will surely die
Just as surely
my love for you never will

Sad and dry
this occasional bloom

But I can still smile
knowing petrified love
is still absolute beauty

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
