Dead Roses


Dust dances in fading sunlight to tunes from broken wind chimes.
It cloaks these beds once crimson from endless shameless passions
in guilty greys of pain;
and from the empty blackness of my soul, 
a whispered question echoes across the silence of our pasts - 
pray, can you tell, if dead roses smell?
Or is it just that the thorns that lasts?
