A branch of roses
in the garden
waiting for meEvery morning
just for my eyes
to seeFor my nose to smell
and my fingers
to brushSend shivers up my spine
with a silky
soft touchTheir bright color
contrast
a black nightMaking all that's wrong
in the world
seem allrightWhen blood stopped running
with the stiffening
of your bodyI don't think
I even felt
sorryBut this short moment
in the morning
just a flowerI cannot tell you
why that hold
so much powerI can only feel
what is left
and still warmsEvery morning
they remind me of
the last time in your arms
