Beauty from youth
Eaten slowly away
Time leaves nothing
Living untouched or
Unfaded, devours all in
Its sight until all that
Remains are memories
Of what once was-
Littering life’s pathway
With faded scents of
A discarded rose
Beauty from youth
Eaten slowly away
Time leaves nothing
Living untouched or
Unfaded, devours all in
Its sight until all that
Remains are memories
Of what once was-
Littering life’s pathway
With faded scents of
A discarded rose

Discarded rose.. such a sad thing: they are desolate, there’s no beauty in a dead rose, only memories of its intended purpose. I find them very bleak things. Perfection turned to dust. ❤ your writing!
