Petal
A soft touch
Of rose petal
To darkened lip
And it falls to the floor
Forgotten
Then trodden upon
Blotting out
Soft lips touch.
A small blood drop
Oozing to stain floor
As crystal tear
Might stain cheek.
And petal,
Once forgotten,
Is spied
By ivory eye
From which
Crystal tear
Kisses cheek
Then lip
And petal.
