The Crystal Rose
by Shannon Jaime (Age: 19)
copyright 04-28-2003


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
I am but
A shattered rose.

My existence lies in ruins
On the desolate ground;
Beauty has long since vanished
From the lifeless shards.
Everyone attempts
To piece me back together—
To fashion me into
Their own perfect, flawless visions;

But even in my broken state,
Cracked fragments clouded
By frosty mist,
I will never be more
Than what I am:
An icy cold bloom of silence,
Layered in blankets of opaque glass,
Soul forever locked
Within a frozen prison,
Petals reclusive in a
Splintered sheath of crystalline.

And the more they try
To mend my fractured exterior,
The more my remains disintegrate
Into a blue oblivion—
Remnants crushed into translucent sand.

Soon there is nothing
But emptiness left,
A soundless void where only
Bleakness and winter reside.
And while the arctic wind whispers
To the lonely snow—
The stark whiteness where
The flower once existed—
My remains drift invisibly upon
The chilling, surging sea.

No longer of this earth,
My heart of ice fading
Into the diluted abyss,
The ocean would be my tears
If I were made to cry.

I am but
A lost memory
Of a shattered, crystal rose.

Well, it's a beautiful idea and the poem itself was just as beautiful. But I couldn't enjoy it as much because of the divided lines. Lack of capitalization was also a down, but while it is distracting it doesn't take away from the poem like dividing lines halfway through a sentence. I am too particular with that, but that's just me...

The title really caught my eye and the describing was also wonderful. The bit with being pieced back together felt highly familiar, and I am currently battling in my mind what to rate this piece. Since the idea was beautiful, I shall give you four stars...though I recommend to stick to your other style.
