Reflections

A discarded rose
Lies on the ground
Whilst raindrops
Wet the air.
A widening pool
Upon the ground
Shows it's
Reflections there!
This sign of love
Has been cast out
From heart and soul
And mind  -
A sad reminder
Of the time
When two hearts
Were entwined!
The rain it falls
As the teardrops do,
To gather in this
Widening pool,
And as this dying rose
Does wilt
Love, once more,
Mocks some other fool!
