Where Roses Bloom

I know where roses bloom in summertime,
where sweetness fills the air like fairytales.
I know where sparrows sing with voices chim-
ing brightly, somewhere sunlight never fails
to be.

I’ve been with someone there not long ago,
when sweetness filled the air like fairytales.
And we were like a fairytale, with hope
and passion blowing in our hearts in gales
of joy.

But I have not been back since then. He left.
I have not seen the roses, heard the sparrows sing.
Haven’t tasted sweetness in the air. I’m dressed
in blankets of apathy to everything
I love.

Again now, summer’s coming ‘round this year,
And I thought, maybe…

you could take me there?

Thank you so much! I'm glad you felt that way when reading my poem. And I do realize that some of the rhyming was off, so thank you for pointing that out. :) Thanks again for your comments!

Wow this is so poetically wonderful! I can feel that it speaks right from the heart and it is so very true. I only noticed that the rhyming wasn't really right in this poem so I would suggest a few changes that's all. Other than that it was really impressive the way you talked so easily and drove us into your story. Great job!! Keep it up and thank you for sharing this ^_^ 5 starred it :D
