Roses

A reverse poem

By simplicityPublished 3 months ago 1 min read

In Garbage 

Short lived lives

what beauty recorded

amounting to Nothing more than added pieces of a midden mound

 before becoming discarded trash

 foul smelling, molded and soggy 

Before it had an after life Demanding attention 

 sprouting buds 

A guessing game of petals, he loves me he loves me not

 In crimson glory 

Blooming fully 

Splayed out in the sun

 Like a grave

 With dangerous spikes 

 The roses of past
