The Scent Of Roses...

(And The Memory Of A Warrior Poet)

 

My brave young friend Tor...
My roses were blooming
when you died
I sat amongst them and cried...
but I cried not lonely
tears midst their perfume...
many cried with me in the gloom
Mashed potatoes are for laughter
and we will grin about them
… again ...in the hereafter
It is again...suddenly...June
The roses have bloomed
Again roses waft their scent
with the evening dew
and ...my friend..
Tor...I remember you…
