The History of These Flowers
A single rose
Petals perfect
Color deep red
Sits on a table in a vase near the window
Gathering any light it can
Leaves still attached
Thorns still attached
It has watched lovers reunite
Lovers untie
New lovers
Old lovers
Those that never have loved
And those with that of the unrequited kind
Deep red color witnesses the hopes
The dreams
The failures
The successes
The defeats
In this tiny coffee shop

I love the last part….”Deep red color witnesses the hopes, the dreams, the failures, the successes, the defeats, in this tiny coffee shop” Wonderful!
Beautiful!
@WakeUpLaughing - I love the last part too
Great poem.
I wonder if seedsower could grow roses for a living? Probably not since most are imported now…
Nonetheless roses remain symbolic to a lot of things, like love, love lost, perfection blooming and the things you wrote….
That rose has been busy!
beautiful.

Boy the water that rose is standing in must be very special. And…how are the hash browns? –BTB
