Lavender Roses

Symbolizing enchantment and splendor, these blooms are meant for royalty. One of the rarest colors, lavender roses are often a sign of love at first sight and carry an air of regality. It’s truly the perfect rose for a budding romance. [Sarah Dimarco, Veranda – poshness-aspiring magazine – March 22, 2021]

When I was young and trusting I was told to seek and I’ll find
My lavender roses would wait just ’round the bend.
Around the bend I went all out in body and mind
But roads bent and twisted and would always end in dead-end.

I went for unaffordable and always got it for free.
I stood on words and principles in unsustainable poses.
They gave me what I wanted and I screamed that I disagree.
And all that I had left to me were pure lavender roses.

My road to salvation went south while heading North.
A thousand bipasses appear when the straight path closes.
While finding my direction I only tied up in knots,
My body cut and bleeding from the thorns on lavender roses.

I made my own way into the middle of the deep dark wood.
I found a crystal coffin where the perfect place of repose is.
My peace is on my terms and I have now done what I could
But all that I have left to give are broken lavender roses.
