WINTER ROSES

Angry velvet night, Curling her lovely lime light, Alone a soul stride. Amid filthy rain, Lightning her thunder shower Rivers of tearflow. Heavy his footsteps - So light before drenching flight, Dancing pair of legs. Behind roaring loss, A feeble sound ringing bright, "Well played, never mind." A figure so light, Waiting behind the crowd, Winter roses swayed.
