Rose Petals
Born 1959, F, from Buenos Aires, ArgentinaJust rose petals,
covering the grave
of some love affair,
rose petals kissing
the old wounds,
the shattered times,
the stolen minutes,
the names of lovers
floating somewhere.
*****
Roses in old books,
in silken sachets,
refusing to die forgotten
just like the hands that
placed them there.
Love and roses
go together,
just like crystal goblets
bearing the last champagne
before the end of an affair.

Funnily enough I was thinking about my old loves, my favorite sisters who have passed, and My Mom, all of them having gotten roses from me at some point in my life. This poem was filled with bittersweet memories. Thank you. Congrats on the StoryStar Award.
Smiles, Kevin
