A Rose

There is a rose that lives in my mind

For ten years onward it glows in the darkness of a dream

Beckoning still sweet and fragrant

Beautiful in its seductive call

A breeze whispering to my ears of everything and nothing

Love and loss

Passion and destruction

Thorns in hungering flesh

Fading into the light of day

Memories of ecstasy and pain

Some candles slowly burn, but never die

Haunting

Within the silence of eternity
