Real Red Rose

Our love was like a real red rose

Full of dirt and thorns

Lasting for a few short nights

And wilting in the morn…

 

Author's Note

Just pondering the practice of equating love with a red rose...

Wilted indeed. It's too bad love cannot be like the poetic Amaranth; unfading, undying, eternal.

Sarcasm is how I show my love... come to think of it, it's how I show everything... ;)
