The Red Rose Declines



The red rose declines  

as sunsets fade in time 

The distance spreads before me 

On a twilight summer eve.  

 

Days of the sweetest bliss 

Symphonies of a kiss 

Still lingers in my soul 

I never had a love like that before.  

 

It was like emerald skies 

With silvers moons 

The mystery of the quiet still 

And soft melodic tunes.  

 

Shards of glass scattered  

Across the beautiful expanse 

Her love master, romance 

Moments that truly mattered.  

 

Flaming sun chariots 

Falls in her eyes  

Cast the dye  

Sweet child of Arias. 

 

Visions of slanted monsoons  

and the scent of her perfume  

blowing on an aromatic breeze 

across blue jeweled streams. 

 

Still, the red rose declines 

cruel the fate of time  

and love is fleeting  

stealing one last evening.
