Best Lost Lovered Poems


Premium Member First Red Rose of Summer

As the first red rose blooms
The first bloom of summer__see
It reminds me of you dear
For I know how much you
Love roses especially those of red
I long to see you soon

But our eyes won't gaze soon
I'll have to enjoy the blooms
All by myself__ they are red
Like all my blood flowing see
From my broken heart that you
Broke when you left my dear

I loved you so much my dear
But you found another love soon
I just could not share you
But miss you when roses blooms
There is another that I see
And he really doesn't like red

I'll just dig up roses red
Then I'll forget about you dear
This new person I finally see
I will really enjoy marrying soon
We will marry when pink blooms
Adorn the running rose__ forget you

I'll just forget all about you
Except now when blooms roses red
Next year there will be blooms
Of pale pink everywhere dear
I will enjoy planting them soon
I hope that you will see

All the red roses disappear see
Soon they will go then you
Remember our lost love very soon
Every time you see roses red
You will remember me my dear
You'll remember when red roses blooms

Red roses see over there red
Ones that you really love dear
Full bloom soon red rose blooms

The bright red convertible

 His midlife-crisis-mobile.

  Traded his faithful pick-up truck

 For newer wheels.

  Traded his faithful wife

  For not as new mistress.

 Changing his life , he said,

  Changing everyone elses too.

  Trying to recapture a youth

  He had only had in dreams.

  Bright red convertible.

  The midlife-crisis-mobile.

  He should be happy now

  But was he?

Where Roses Bleed

So still the night around her

As perfumed candles softly dance

To the breath of tears now falling

Upon the petals in her hands



Glistening drops of memories

Cascade slowly down her face

As she is taken back through time

To a once upon a place



Where once she was a dancer

Upon a stage dressed in his smile

And blood red roses were an offering

With hat in hand,he showed his style



A nearing stranger in the shadows

He faltered from the light

Tossing blood red roses

Then softly whispering goodnight



These moments were so long ago

Still they're etched within her mind

As trembling fingers caress each petal

Her heart,it falls behind



Seeing is believing

She knows now she must move on

Though beautiful memories remain

The blood red roses have all gone



Somewhere in the stillness

Beyond the beating of her heart

There cries a thousand roses

Blood red and torn apart


Red of Roses' Prelude

Your roses are for your love. 

In roses there lies red.

In red is blood, carnelian soul; life, your life, a life you devote so diligently to 
another’s; the colour of your ardour, the roses in their cheeks.

In red is the heart, your heart, their heart, the hearts you sold to another pair of 
hands.

In red is the acrimony that flushes your eyes, your tongue; the tacit spokesmen of 
yet to be hysteria, discord, poison on their voice and aftermath of lachrymose. 
Silences.

A petal falls. You forget about love.

A rose withers; personification at its finest.
