"Cut Red Rose"

"Cut Red Rose"

A Poem by Tommy
"

‘I would not die for love as cut red roses do’ (Kerry O’Connor)

"

Autumn Eden, even graceful leaves fall.

Too heavy became the sacred, wings pure,

trading peace for mortal wight, love procured.

My departed rose secured with fate’s call,

I fell to love, left the Light, and seen thrall.

Sleeved hearts rule affection’s timely couture;

laced black sable grieve, quills cheek in crow’s lure.

Thorns hunt, dredging judgment’s say un-forestalled.

“Dove for

                  E

                V

                  O

                 L

                     and my cut red rose  ( he    died).”

Heaven waits for no man, took him away,

to lands seen by angels fallen from Grace.

Far from grace, and I’m alone, this lost bride.

I’ve left far away from home; pall betray

hides his love now, my heart He can’t replace…

Author's Note

Tommy
Her work is like Classic Country, with a little Outlaw twang in it, making it unique; far from that pop shit they call country these days…And to this country boy that’s a good thing…Yes that’s a metaphor for how I see her work… I hope I caught a little of your flare in this Kerry…

Written for Shen “Fyrehearts” Impersonations contest…Based on the image...

if you have 13 layers of intense meaning, a fire tongue and a heart for love you got her. Even though that chick just lets us all live on her planet. You did in fact switch gears biog time for this. After your prose and even other poems this was a true impersonation. You didnt take YOUR s**t and add her s**t, you tried to create HER s**t. Bingo Bango..nicely done

Ha! What a thing of beauty to wake up to on a cold morning. This has warmed my heart. Some glorious images and word combos - I fell to Love, left the Light... I wish I'd written that :)
