i want the roses to bloom (forever)

you and i met

at a crossroads between

heartache and hope –

 

in our monochromatic castle

we had built out of

fear, out of pride.

 

and then, in a garden

that had been barren

for years,

you planted a rose.

 

just one.

 

it bloomed despite

the frost and a rather

unforgiving sky

wearing a

perpetual blanket of clouds.

 

the red from the petals

somehow made its way

 

into my cheeks as you

told me stories about

the sun and the moon,

 

into our lips

colliding like two natural

disasters aching for refuge,

 

into my thoughts

drenched with rose water. they

have made their way into

my lungs –

 

i can no longer breathe

without tasting you.

 

i thought it would end

with red – the colour of passion,

of lust, of longing

 

i was wrong.

 

your hands and brown eyes

are laced with gold

and there is blue in your veins

(can i call your veins mine?)

 

green vines are wrapping

around my heart

and twisting around yours

connecting the two so our

heartbeats align

 

you exist in shades of bliss,

in shades of love

i wish i could paint you in my memory

so the colours never fade

 

grey.

 

it all used to be grey –

mind, body, and soul

nothing would grow

except my loneliness

 

now, it is not.

 

it is red, gold, blue

there are fireworks

 

and though a rose, beautiful

but deadly

is clothed with thorns

and is bound to wilt,

 

a garden, once barren,

now blooms.

 

it brings hope

of deep deep crimson nights

of midnight blue lovers

 

i want the roses to bloom (forever.)

  1. You shurely will
    (roses which’ll bloom forever)
    if you join me Upstairs:

    Heads up, girl:
    Take your first finger and
    hold it close to your thumb.
    The space in between is how
    long our lives are; then comes
    eternity: Heaven or the Abyss
    (yes, dear, Purgatory is true as
    the Son Shining upon humanity).
    And who decides which realm?
    We, ourselves and our eyes.
