Faded Rose

The rose, neglected
Begins to fade;
Its beauty slowly dims.
One by one
The petals drop
Leaving a stem
Naked and bare
Adorned only with thorns.
Sadly the petals
Are gathered and saved
And placed on a dusty shelf.
In a pretty little
Forgotten bowl
Sometimes a wayward breeze
Steals it way inside
To stir an aromatic memory
In which the rose still lives
Red, eternal and painfully sweet.

An old coffee table
being hauled to the dumpster -
