0004 Lyric 3: Rosefall
O, what is the song this late, late rose is singing?
where will its petals fall, pale orange-yellow rose?
when shall the breeze and the rose cease laughing, dancing,
when will the raindrops bring time, and loss, and tears?
who wrote the song that the rose is singing, singing,
who painted petals on this fleeting rose?
when did the breeze discover dancing, dancing,
with roses that fade and fall in loss and time and tears?
after the rosefall, a colder breeze is blowing,
rose petals lie in drifts upon the ground;
but the breeze remembers, wintering red rose-hips, sowing
the roses spring and singing; remembering roses sound..

! ! Gertrude Stein met Marilyn Monroe in Tiffany's
a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
and a dozen roses ring around a posy -
but a rose is not as rosy as a ring -
for diamonds are a man's best bet;
a rose is just a rose but the future could be rosy -
a diamond is a girl's best bait.
a rose is a rose but eventually goes off;
even love can have a nasty end;
but a man who's had his day can always be disposed of...
while diamonds are a lifetime friend...

The Rose
The rose she has gone back to Nature
Her petals on the grass by her mother tree lay
But memories of her blooming in the sunshine
With me till my own end will stay.
The most beautiful rose in the garden
And the pride of her mother tree
Far redder than a ripe red tomato
A thing of great beauty to see.
Next year the rose tree will have more roses
And one rose amongst them will stand out
The fairest rose in the sunlit garden
Of that there will be little doubt.
Despite time life always continues
And though the Seasons they come and they go
On the rose tree now of roses denuded
In the Spring new rose buds will grow.
The rose she has gone back to Nature
She bloomed and then faded away
Ground insects are eating her petals
Some forms of life thrive on decay.

Love Blooms
Amidst the daffodils
two red roses grow
dancing in harmony
in the gush of wind
As the sun smiles
it inspires the love
of the two red roses
as the color heighten
Rain falls in torrent
and the water threatens
the foundation that holds
the bond of the two red roses
True love cannot die
nor wither so easily
the root of true love
of the two red roses
After the storm
the weather calms
and the sun smiles again
love of two red roses bloom!
Amidst the daffodils
two red roses grow
dancing in harmony
in the gush of wind
As the sun smiles
it inspires the love
of the two red roses
as the color heighten
Rain falls in torrent
and the water threatens
the foundation that holds
the bond of the two red roses
True love cannot die
nor wither so easily
the root of true love
of the two red roses
After the storm
the weather calms
and the sun smiles again
love of two red roses bloom!
