A Rose Poem by Barry Middleton

A Rose

Rating: 3.8


she placed the rose carefully
into an onyx vase

a sprig of fern and greenery
would add a final grace

all other testament was mute
behind her brimming eye

only I could read her thought
a silent last good-bye

still I may speak no more to say
oh do not weep for me

I'll take the rose as if a kiss
my soul at last is free
