roses
September 5, 2022
fruit-stained roses swoon
golden beams embrace stars
sugared breezes soft as petals
bitter air creeps in
sinisterly dragging out innocent warmth
mourning doves shed rusted tears
ravens stitched with ghosts of haunting smiles
oceans of glass harden to ice
shards dripping with salted, dying snow
chills crawl up my spine
the sky once reflected every star
a black abyss stares back
devoid of heaven’s paint
i craved the sunset
so i drank from the sky
and blossomed into rutilant dust
the summer breeze cradles us
dandelions floating through sweet air
thriving in sun-flooded meadows
we are winged stars
when winter slithers in,
smothered by dark clouds,
roses suffocate and wither
in the cruel absence of sun and stars
roses swoon to death
