Tears of a Rose

 

Tears of a Rose

 

Blood-red roses are my mark

As bloodshed tears commence,

to fall in such heartfelt sorrow

Lapping in a pool of desolation

 

Tomorrow seems ever so distant

As each day becomes a new trial

One to overcome, a ceaseless battle

In which confounds the minds-eye 

 

Longing to see, as the fates conspire

Even as one may hold destiny in hands

Nothing shall ever go according to plans

All for naught, descending into the void

 

Be there no reason, nor season of serenity

As the essence bleeds in ceaseless fashion

Grief-stricken, inconsolable beyond repair

Grasping unto faith, with a desire of hope

 

The rose shall bleed continuously in time

Elapsing in a comatose induced, disposition

Where there is no harmony, nor tranquility

Only a living nightmare infused by destiny

 

As darkness descends, the light fades away

I take two steps back, falling now to knees

Pleading with the heavens above in prayer

In hopes of wisdom, compassion and love

 

The right course of action to follow through

The guidance of the light, of enlightenment

The strength to carry on, despite adversity

With an open heart, the grace of loves gift
