What happens when the sun sets?
Does it die or disappear? What comes in this moment or the next? Whatever you decide it is, and however you do so is welcome :)

Sets

the way a sun sets and sighs

the softened lips after goodbyes

the painful way a sleeping dies

that's what I want to see

it's deeper than you've dreamt

so powerfully unkempt

alas it's state is tempt

a rose to that of three

white and yellow too

a red to follow you

and black alive it grew

as dark as nights rapport

the cheeks are named by one

"those rosie cheeks" by some

a gardened little one

the earliest of four

this shade is mine to clasp

I know it shouldn't last

I'll place in tempered glass

cut stem, as life, is stripped

for death will take it's place

an order as we trace

it's life to help us face

our own as end is gripped

and when the roses pass

I'll lend within me mass

to mourn such gentle lass

as nature has its peak

that softens every face

though flower is replaced

how can we but retrace

it's countenance to speak
