I remember...

MEMENTO ME

Rose petals pink.
But roses do wither.
Words stay alive.
Words do not dither.

Words for remembrance
Wherever one goes.
That’s why there’s rosemary,
Soon dies the rose.

Words sing of love.
Words can bring hate.
Words can forever
On your soul, stamp a date.

But I will admit,
One thing words can’t do…
Seduce with a scent
My memories of you.
