solitary demise

it's bright hue catches the eye
accidently fallen or deliberately thrown
an excess from the offerings
or, scarcity of reciprocal feelings
a God missing his due
or a beloved kissing goodbye
decoration on an idle idol
or decimation of a romantic dream
consigned on the morrow to a flowing stream
or permanently ensconced in the dark
interiors of a favorite book

lying on the road
with an unknown past
and an indifferent present
in solitary demise
a red rose on the road.
