Hearts surely broken, <br />theirs is love in a mist, <br />Valentine romance <br />just doesn't exist. <br /> <br />Opportune moments <br />are fewer than few, <br />a dance gives no pleasure, <br />and a kiss is untrue. <br /> <br />Persist as they may <br />love has flown faraway <br />clairvoyant powers <br />predicted the day. <br /> <br />Now they pray for a spark <br />to light up cloud nine <br />because ashes of roses <br />could ignite love divine.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ashes-of-roses/
