the rose

The Rose
i tried to reach you
but eternity divides
only the petals lay upon
you
against the harsh cold glass
everyday i lay a rose
the ones you offered me
to caress you, to cling to you
i long to do
but eternity divides
i tried to reach you
but destiny did not understand
i search for you among the clouds
through the roses
that gaze upon heaven.
a poem to my father from my mother that i have put into words
