Charred Petals

Roses fall

Delicately into her palm,

Swaying in the silent breeze.

Twisting in the folds of soft

Lips of night

Blooming into a dark

Translucent scarlet note,

Whispering,

Caressing

Her solemn sobs.

Folding over

Peeling through the shadows

Of sorrow, eating through her.

Keys clicking under tear petals

Pouring out the soul of sorrow

Emanating through the life filled

Wilting petals

The pearl pure white dress

Cascading around the gray stone squares

Trilling around

Soaking in the poured river of tears.

Scarlet teases frills

Charring the deadly white

With pure black.

Roses fall

Delicately through her tears.
