Rose Petals

Karyn Indursky

Unfold my petals

to see seeds sprouting

budding roses for plucking

until the petals cry

for the pangs of confusion

as you wonder does he like me 

or is it a facade?

Rose petals crumble

into pieces noncomplying to

your emotional bewilderment

and put the remaining stem...

in a crystal vase hoping underneath 

the twinkling shooting star the man 

in your dreams will appear as your prince

for slowing dancing on rose petals.
