I cup the rosebud

in my open palm

so fragile

so perfect 

a world unfolding

a galaxy spinning 

forever 

in a flower 

eternity

brushing

my fingers

I unchained it

from a thorny vine

I snapped it 

from the rush of life

from earth’s pounding heart

It will never blossom

It will never bloom

Hope in darkness

Words in silence

Life in death 

A rosebud

 

A rosebud

Life in death

Words in silence

Hope in darkness

It will never bloom            

It will never blossom

From earth’s pounding heart

From the rush of life

I snapped it

From a thorny vine 

I unchained it

My fingers

brushing

eternity 

In a flower

forever

a galaxy spinning

a world unfolding

so perfect

so fragile

In my open palm

I cup the rosebud

This is a reverso poem, a form of poetry where the lines of the poem can be reversed and still make sense both ways.
