Butchered At The Neck


Alas! Sorrow is in my sight
as the moon, early in the night
has upturned my precious rose
all set in a flourishing pose.

Eyes can only watch weep
as sands of time slowly sweep
the squirreled few memories
amongst fields of red poppies.

I come to touch this pale fragility
but the gusty winds of my breath
have blown this priceless piece
into stockpiles of lifeless debris.

I truly feel the oscillating coldness
dampen any warmth from the sun
when there is not my diamond rose
to illuminate and start my day.

Please tell me what you think
