He's casting rose petals
onto her heart
Planting a seed in deep
and the magic starts.
Watering with his tears
Sunlight shining from his eyes
The bud blooms from kisses
that cast away all fears.
They're dancing in rose petals
In perfume enchanted air
Blinded by the beauty
forgot the thorns were there.
It only took one thorn
to prick the heart
the beginning of the end
the end of the start.
He's plucking off rose petals
with 'I love you, I love you not's
Each petal drifts lonely to the ground
The beauty couldn't be caught.
He pulls away
the rose is bare
tears in both sets of eyes
He can't afford to care.
She's collecting rose petals
in a locket by her heart
Gathering up the forgotten memories
Hoping for a new start.
The stars still hold their love
the love she didn't want to lose
but holding on cuts the vine
Maybe she will be the one he'll choose.

Oh this is beautiful and sad ~
It is so full of lovely imagery. The metaphors throughout are outstanding. I had chills as I was reading it. You are very talented! Keep writing dear poet!

iIreally like this. But I would end it at the end of the second verse... not only because the first two verses are technically better, but because it leaves you wondering if they ever find love again, which is a good place to be at the end of a poem, and helps you to remember it - having an answer make it more forgettable...
