Dead Petals for Next Spring

[font=Verdana]Love is made like roses
The petals will bloom
Falling like tears
Moving in time

The spring is always so fresh
Nothing stays asleep
When the plant blooms
Life begins

Growing with each season
Beautiful with imperfection
New to understanding
Protected in thorns

Scared of new
Protecting all the delicate flowers
Allowing the beauty to shine
And foolishly fighting kindness

When the cold bites
Stabs and kills what you had
Like hearbroken lovers
Left to lay and in loneliness

Snow melts
Creating spring
The roses skelital remains
Bloom for new beginnings

Roses petals explode
Complicated layers and beauty
Full bloom or closed buds
Ready or not time moves

Those who envy
Cut the creature
Expozing all of the thorns
Like declawing a cat

True roses are adored
Accepted both thorns and petals
No matter if bloomed or closed
Loved like a rose[/font]
