An Elegy to Vlad (my 1st boyfriend who died)
Sweet rose among the bush of thorn
You drew me close
When you wilted I had to mourn
Its been years since I last saw you
I waited for new flowers in the bush
But nothing else could bloom
I guess you were my first lick of honey
and my last wiff of sweet rain
When the last petal dropped
I felt a gush of pain
I know you’re happy
In that special wonderland above
Remember those times when we would climb trees?
Remember our pet dove?
I miss the hearty sound of your loud chuckle
I miss the warmth of your hug
Its been years since I last saw you
stains of your paint are still on the rug
Pictures that tell a million stories
They burnt long ago
But I have my memories
To carry on this rapid flow
It was puppy love
Thats what they say
But I beg to differ
I wish you were still around
I wish you never had to wither
But thats just life for you
Full of short notices
I still could remember your eyes of blue
whenever I think of roses
