Captive Roses – v2

beautiful, long stemmed,
roses of that gift
perfect blooms, captive blooms
in the vases, gifts of love
from her, from me, from them
given in love, captured on
a digital screen, the memory card,
the ether emulsion
of this new age
not on film anymore
images of beauty,
pictures, photographs
preserved in the camera
to be shared, remembered
into the future, forever,
long after the bud fades
