Fallen Petals

A Poem by Eternal Poet

When all seems not apparent

You gave me a rose a royalty amongst flower's
to symbol a love you promised was ours,
with word's like these I felt belonged
but hollow they were, from a dancing tongue.

You caught my heart in moments leap
as the pendent of love began to sweep,
words that hung out of grasp
the fall of my heart, was the leap of collapse.

The scent of a rose your lips so sweet
embraced in the petals my love complete,
words so strong they stood alone
only to topple, from a kiss I blown.

So foolish a heart that listened to lies
to a promised love on a rose that dies,
the trophy of love was my heart you torn
which you impaled to the stem, of your rose thorn.
