SO NOW
So now; it has come to this.
A waltz of days,
All the feelings, all the passion, all the yearning,
A crumbled toss into inert melody,
With fragrance still longing for
Lingering beauty of years,
Plucked in courtship,
Fossilized in what was,
No more thought to what will be.
So now, it's all the memories, beauty can fathom.

  3. A fossilized rose....and with it, all the memories of passion spent, only the beholder can fathom its beauty.

  5. As if frozen in time, this rose holds beauty and memories forever despite it's withering petals. I especially love the personification here...."With fragrance still longing for
    Lingering beauty of years"

  6. I love the contrast of the 'waltz of days' and the 'inert melody', Gillena, which turns into the fossilized rose.

  9. Plucked in courtship,

    No more thought to what will be.

    It all started with courtship that gave the strength that continued. Nothing could come in between when love was invoked. Rightly so gillena!
