Silent teardrops, roses weep <br />For the bloom, it could not keep <br />And as the final petal falls <br />All that's left, a body of thorns <br /> <br />A pool of petals, fragrance lingers <br />So soft against her shaking fingers <br />As ashes she places them in the urn <br />In haunting dreams, for roses return<br /><br />Tia Maria<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/petal-falls/
