Paper roses broken
on the floor of wedded bliss,
each severed weathered token
scattered with emotion,
in foolish reminisce.
Paper roses woken
in letters sealed with a kiss,
heady with devotion
to love’s intoxication,
emotions overtaken,
a broken heart forsaken.
Its melancholy flight,
bleeding into the night.
Paper petals drifting,
are shades of faded blue,
their fight to be uplifting,
encumbered by the dew
from sad green eyes,
no longer wise.
Clustered ‘mongst
discarded stems,
weatherworn remains
of all her dreams,
in tatters lie, refusing to die.
