After The Final Rose Has Fallen

By David Ash

This is a collection of poems. The first, hopeful of the hope of being joined to a woman, to me a being of beauty, kindness, compassion, and above all, love. The following poems are sad, which for me, are the result of a person being deprived of such wonderful things; to me a few of the only wonderful things life has to offer. So, laugh, cry, and cry with me as I take you on a journey. Together, if you read on, we'll experience both the joy of woman, hope, and success, which to me, are all intertwined for a man. Because, as they say, behind every great man is a great woman. We will also journey through the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that result from losing said things that, to me, fulfill a person's life in this life, and give satisfaction and meaning to a person. I hope you enjoy, and remember, reguardless which flower you pick, all flower's will wither and fall in due time. Not that I want it that way, but it is a fact, one that I have lived over and over in my lifetime, and not just in reguard to women, success, love and hope.

Title: Before The Final Rose Fell

From far away I see a vision there

Something so beautiful, something so rare

Someone to add meaning to a life where

A life can become something better than an existence oh so cold and oh so bare

I have hopes to overcome and re-arrange

A dark place, a barren stage

This vision that I see holds the key

To hope for the future and a completely new me

One that doesn't fear and conquers all

One that sees in the light all of his steps so that he doesn't fall

One to which can make happiness his bride

One that keeps himself on of life the brighter side

And so you may ask what is this vision of which to speak of I dare

And of what can be so rewarding to cling to as a pair

If you have a woman then you have something oh so dear

If you have a woman then your vision is there!
