Tears on the Roses

grieving and loss

art ~ Richard Johnson ~ Rain and Roses

 

 

Petals tremble in soft misty hues

        and the rain falls like tears on the roses

                                        once blooming

                                                      in every line

                                                                    of every sweet love poem

        chasing my dreams and flowing from my pen

                                   now etched upon my heart

                                                         …still missing you

                                      and lingering

 

                                    like tears on the roses

The thought of tears on the roses being as the tears shed for a love lost is such a fitting metaphor. I think of the morning dew on a rose and the dew of evening - appearing once again after a day of sunlight as one who has loved is gone as the sunlight. Your thoughts are lovely! The image is delightful, and oh so romantic!

From the pen does flow the dream Julie, and your write lingers in my heart. My chasing days are past, but my dreaming nights are images your words stir.

Heavy sigh! The melancholy lyrical lines drew me into the mood of this poem, Julie. The romantic longing is intense. Richard Johnson's art is the perfect accompaniment to your words. Absolutely lovely. Lydi**
