When Beauty Fades


I wish the petals of this rose will always stay beautiful and remain in place in nature's amazing arrangements. But when the time comes, it can't hold itself anymore ; the petals will drop one by one leaving the stem which slowly turns brown but the thorns will still prick. Nevertheless,  its sweet scent lingers in the air.

  4. Hello.
    "Even though every form of life will eventually experience death's cold embrace, love's beauty remains the only living thing that cannot die at the doorsteps of death..." Andy David

    Nicely penned.

    Israr has been a "friend" of mine for a good while now. In fact, we just did a poem collaboration together with 26 other blog friends. I have yet to post the poem on my blog. He can tell fiction like no other & I'm always entertained whenever I visit him.

    Thanks for taking the time to visit, comment & follow. I sincerely appreciate it. I always try to return the kindness & have become your newest follower too. I hope you'll come visit me again soon!

  5. Hi Balqis :)
    We seem to pass each other often on comments from mutual friends here on Blogger. I'm glad I decided to take a peek at your lovely blog!

    A single red rose is my favorite and this is such a perfect one you have chosen to display here :) Your words are equally as lovely and very true. I often wish that the beautiful petals didn't have to die and fall off :)

    A pleasure meeting you here,
    Best Wishes,
    Fiona

  15. We come and go and so beauty appears and disappears in time! That's the essence of life, everything has the limited exposure with the place we are given the chance to express ourselves and appreciate what life is all about over the surface. We are always part of it, but our days to play the biggest role of our existence is not forever...

  16. That's the reality of life, Prime. Everything fades with time which shows a complete cycle of life. Thank you so much for you well-explained comments. :)

  19. Yes,Wan, it's really sad. Literally speaking, when something which is a beauty to our eyes slowly fades away, the effect it has on us is unbearable. But we can't fight the law of nature. Thank you so much for your nice comments.

  20. When outside beauty fades, inner beauty got revealed - this one is eternal.
