BROKEN ROSES

by Christopher Rudolph Keough/Capricorn - Not entered

Letters
on the table
notes beside the bed
no explanations
when romance is dead


Pardon me
Pardon you
I must leave now
important things to do


We
pass by like strangers
that stand beside
the gallows of a hung man

Eyes to floor
and ears to
the windows
where the cold winter storm paralizes the garden

Stone heart
beaten hard by bitter words
self-righteous soul
snaps the limp to break the rose

Reason for writing:

    Reasons.........None.......Just A bitter Truth!!!!!!!!!
"All that I have come to know of myself, is by that which
I have learned through others."  A question, is merely a way
around an answer given prior, to the same question.
