Valentine's day coinciding with the Apocalypse

Roses are dead
violets are too
This thing we call love
is transient too.

Hmm.

    Well, that was fantastic. I love when people are cynical about love, and not just because I'm cynical about love, but because it can be annoying ideology. Great title, too. And thanks for your comment before.

    Oh this has to be the absolute best take on the old roses are red violets are blue lines... I am not a dies hard romatic and I do not think that I shall ever be and so it is wonderfulto see some realism in poetry like this. Great write and best of wishes as well... ~genielassie~ (P.S. Sorry I am so LATE returning favors. It usually doesn't take me so long!)

    I really liked the paradox you created with this one. A while back, I truly hated Valentine’s Day. Now I just despise it a little. You write with the sort of panache that others seem to attempt but never achieve. I am pleased that I have had the pleasure to come across you and your work.

    oh Ben Ben Ben. How sad, how sad that I disagree completely (and you know precisely why) and, even more so, how sad that you are quite obviously right. Sooner and sooner, he will be gone, and I will still be clinging on to this image of him that is entirely projected and entirely unreal, won't I? xx

    Ah... spoken like the words of one who has not yet found a love to spend forever with. Well...me neither. I still have hope though. Til then...yes.. can be a very transient thing and yet I will take touches of it that are fleeting...over none at all.

    Very nice..
