Rose petals red
drift in the cool fresh glass water
shimmering gold like a cascade
of bright sunlight yet to be discovered
Rose petals black
Flutter to the ground
a dazzling sight of tortured beauty
more profound than the beauty of Aphrodite
Rose petals blue
like the bruises on a prisoner
who lost a good fight
blue like the ocean
or like the sunset sky
a deep gorgeous blue.
Rose petals violet
velvet, velevet, violet.
a dark deep violet
a royal color, true.
violet like the sunset,
like rose petals blue.
Rose petals falling
gently to the ground
from a beautiful cliff
into the pond
of a Japanese pagoda
with the light pink cherry blossoms
both destructive beauties
falling from the sky
like broken angels cast out of heaven.
Rose petals.
