Rose
Rose
There's a gulf of difference between you and I
Stoic, blameless
You sat under the pines
Breath a wheeze through dried needles
Time will tell if I loved you
As the violet sun stared down
Among dead weeds reaching
Impossible toward
Grey marble stretched across the zenith
Rose
I asked you that day on the swing
Who can feel the wind and not wonder
What secrets float on that sullen gale?
You just winked
and snuck some whiskey in my Coke
Rose
When I pray I dread the barren silence that follows
Even though you pointed to the words
"Look here" you said
It's all on the pages
Thin and delicate
Like the skin on your hands
Something about salvation and forgiveness escaped me as I
Swam in your cold blue eyes
What's it all for?
I pleaded
You hushed me then
Swept the high clouds aside and cradled me
Arms crossed and folded over my head
