Ashes of roses.....
Ashes to ashes
filtered dust remains
scattered to the four winds
Freeing a wild spirit
that was suppressed
by discipline and loathing
ever rebellious
Riotous flame hair
and green emerald eyes
ever dancing in their
wickedness
And forever that fragrance
lingers....drifts on the
four winds to remind...
......Ashes of Roses...........
Author notes
This is a poem to the memory of a kindred spirit.

Beautiful. This is the way people should be remembered. Hemingway wrote, "This world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are stronger in the broken places." But there are also those who cannot be tamed by this world and who refuse to be broken. The only option left for them is to leave it.

Your wording down pat, well versed and enchanting! This was a super pleasure to read! I hope it is an epitaph you shall not be using anytime soon! I and the world of poetry would miss you!

You are...well, talented. You made a well-written piece feel that much more with the emotion you place inside, wrapped for all to see. Although poetry truly can't be judged good or bad, I have to say that all your poetry, especially this one, qualify on the good side. Keep it up.

Beautiful
I'd let you write my epitaph anyday.
Great job.
Strong images pulled me in, enfolded me in both love and saddness and then allowed me to go without remorse.
Nicely done.
Be well;

this was a nice piece ^_^ esp. the way it opened and closed with the same line... and there were not many words, but they managed to convey a strong image - that's very good.
