Petal of red

You sowed a seed my heart agreed
A man imprisoned never freed
A blossom of truth a fragrant scent
A moment passed and then you went
I let your hand deep into my heart
A seed you left, left torn apart
What does water but my tears
Your voice A perfume to my ears
A petal of red staines my eyes
The birds seem red and so do the skies
A blossoming flower A fragrance to stay
You buried a seed a seed you did lay
A blooming flower A pleasing sight
A wiltering face nothing seems right
Why do I stay here who hears my plight
Maybe I give in perhaps not tonight
A petal of red staines my eyes
The birds seem red and so do the skies
A blossoming flower A fragrance to stay
You buried a seed a seed you did lay
I hold a seed of silent expression
A silent wind please grant me confession
I miss you still beyond my will
I grasp the clouds nothing is still
A petal of red staines my eyes
The birds seem red and so do the skies
A blossoming flower A fragrance to stay
You buried a seed a seed you did lay
This rose all stems from a root to a seed
In time it would grow a hopeless greed
The door is open I choose not to go
A seed you did bury but nothing show
A petal of red staines my eyes
The birds seem red and so do the skies
A blossoming flower A fragrance to stay
You buried a seed a seed you did lay
As I watch the petals fall like snow
Each one a memory each one I know
They feel so soft as they embrace my hand
Time is a river, Time is the sand
Nothing remains only a distant scent
A wondering man, ponders your went
A cold lonely path that the wind has sent
A fragrance has gone, a whispering went
A petal of red staines my eyes
The birds seem red and so do the skies
A blossoming flower A fragrance to stay
You buried a seed a seed you did lay
When I look on afraid to look back
Into my heart A muddy track
A seed no more all does seem black
Do I return do I turn back
Petals of red are soft and kind
But what did I learn what did I find
A blooming flower that did not stay
You asked me to go please not today
