Always

I only think of you...

When the sun kisses the moon

And the light from the blue disappears

The stars decorate the sky

Casting their glow upon sleeping souls

I only think of you...

When the moon says its prayers

And the light of the day chases darkness away

The sun grants a wish

Illuminating each dew speckled rose

I only think of you...

With every breath I take

Which is to say

Every hour

Each moment

Of the moonlit night

And sun filled day

I only think of you...

Always

Rose

Delicate petals open
Soft and inviting
Visibly alive
Colored by grace
Her stem
Long and unyielding
Brandishing thorns
When necessary
Reminding you
Of your place
Yet love flows
Like dew
Soothing wounds
Dropping kisses
Upon your brow
Alive with color
A soft and strong
Creature of life
A rose
Bright red
Dropping seeds
Shades of pink
Yellow and white
Legacies to bloom
Growing in the sun’s embrace
Always resembling
And remembering
From where they came
