An Ode to thr Dying Rose

 An Ode to the Dying Rose 🌹


The saddest thing is a dying rose. 

its beautiful petals  disintegrate with  every careful touch. 

The pleasure of its fragrance

lingers on, like an escatic thought

buried among the catacombs of dreams. 

Beautiful rose, once a thing of delight

now a sorrowful sight. 

This is my ode to

 the dying rose

with falling petals

ebbing away.
