No Roses For Rose


Her eyes look up towards the amber skies In solemn prayer before the Sun dies Only to live again a zillion times Prayer is not for the Sun as it climbs Yet again setting the world's busy pace Shining on the young girl's beautiful face She pleads with the Lord, prays for her lover To return, promised gifts to deliver The long struggle for love is not over Her lover is yet to come, moreover Springtime's wasted, cold Autumn is on her Pricking her like barbs for her to suffer The lonely days in silent agony Unable to withstand Antagony From society, her family too No wonder her staunch supporters are few Days pass in the hope of a reunion To spend the days with her loved companion On a chilly morning, the post arrives With the news of her lover's death, and drives Her out of her mind into depression Not many souls to shower compassion Hopes ruined, dreams shattered she spent lonely nights With all days in sorrow and sullen blights The leaves of the trees were falling away Tossed up and swirling to the ground each day Winter's unkind drift cutting into skin Like quickened knife unforgiving and mean Where hope dies the will to survive is weak If there's no will, there is no life to seek The Sun rose marking yet another day For all but the girl to no one's dismay mbfarookh
