Crimson grow the roses
Blood against the sun.
Crimson grow the roses
A new love just begun
Crimson grow the roses
Passion on the bloom.
Crimson grow the roses
Wilting in the heat of noon.
Crimson fall the petals
As the evening draws near.
Scent of musk arising
On the twilight air.
Crimson fall the petals
Red teardrops on the ground.
Crimson fall the petals
Kisses without sound.
Crimson grow the roses
Night secret and unseen.
Crimson fall the petals
That lie blackening in the green.

awww. I hate the ending
I mean it's great. Good rhyme and everything but so sad. Great job with the prompt. Thank you for entering. My only suggestion would be to add some line breaks ... maybe 4-line stanzas or something.
