Love Poem: Devoted

Devoted

the fragrance of a rose, the flower of my devotion
devoted the heat like the sun rays on the ocean
but the look in your eye tells me you were only joking
from the very beginning, from the start no emotion

it's like candle wax that melts dripping down the tallow
like the moon in the sky that rises full and shallow
my dreams do not falter, somehow they disallow
the truth hiding deep shrouded by the shadows

my fingers bleed from the thorns on the stem
the fragrance too sweet as it all closes in
I know it was a game that I could never win 
as the final chords play and it comes to the end
