Pink Rose
By XP 12/01/05
I saw a pink rose on the internet
She blossomed quietly
Sunlight cast broken shadows
Every petal was so elegant and perfect
In a flash they seemed to be
Touching so many gentle memories
But only for a split second!
Other thoughts engrossed me like faraway tides
That innocent pink color
Is what Human watchfully choose
After countless generations of artificial breeding
I moved away my eyes
Thinking of the blue flower in the dream
Forgotten in the wind, softly swinging
People are busy under the pink rose
Playing games of heart and body
Beautiful temptations naked
In this prosperous world, if its dazzling dress peeled
The most ancient puzzle still hides in the white pistil
Some is inevitable
Some is unreachable
I am an inept yet unfortunately sober outsider
Helpless tears dribble in my heart
Occasionally I stare at the grayish blue sky
An now
In one rose garden at one corner of this planet
She has turned into ashes
Perhaps on a fertile field in nature
A celestial song was gone with the wind
