Analysis of Her Rose Dress
There she was again
Stretched out beneath a blossom tree
Pink petal madness in her hair
Eyelids softly fluttering
There she was again
Her body adorned in roses, plush
Enveloping her in sweet fragrance
Making the boldest lover blush
And there she was boasting
About April's sweet blue showers
Trickling down her freckled skin
Blooming with all the flowers
Softly into September
Where she wanders the orchard wall
Cupping together warm hands
Catching soft apples when they fall
Cold cripples her rosy dress
She pales from such distress
Losing petals with every footfall
Lonely chills gather upon her breast
And early within November's morns
Do I see her outside the pane
Clutching together the wilted roses
Kissing the green goodbye again...
And there she walks, I dare not follow
With every step, each rose dies
Swept away into freezing winds
You hear not a whimper nor sigh
There she stands, wearing confidence
Her paled body baring all to see
As the ground is quietly covered in white
Her eyes so bright and glittering
And there she is in bleak December
Comfort and joy in her stare
Singing softly to the lifeless garden
The world still unnervingly bare
I catch her melody in the wind
As the trees sway this way and that
Overwhelming me, but I know where she'll be
Beneath the blossom tree, she sat
