Winter Rose (Free verse) by Brennan
A full moon glowing in the sky
A looming crystal tear
A heart that cries itself alone
That's lying broken here
A hand that cradles in its clasp
Vermillion winter rose
A man that lost a woman's love
As wilted petal shows
A passion flame that halted not
Surpassing tricks and charms
As lover's whims may lead astray
To someone else's arms
As couples bloom, come time to grow
The change may tear apart
And thorns upon a rose will prick
Not peirce the skin, but break the heart
