Rhymes of the Heart
The Blue Rose
The rose once vibrant
A deep shade of red
Now blue like my heart
As if it had bled
The veins coursing through
The leaves on the stems
Now withered and dying
Nothing nourishing them
The red rose of Spring
Fades away in the Fall
Forlorn forgotten
But once it stood tall
The blue rose of life
Colored with heartache and pain
Doesn't cleanse and be whole
With the coming of rain
If only the heart
Worked in the same way
Pushing through with new growth
The next bright Spring day
