Anniversary 

Posted on June 5, 2026June 5, 2026 by Editor Team

Janee Sybert 

Amidst a hot bath, the steam rises 

Suffocating the room with the sickly smell of roses 

They sit in the tub, soaking up the water 

The champagne taste still lingers heavily on the palate 

A celebration 

Was what it was dreamed to be. 

Dancing on the floor, feeling the embrace Of 

your rough hands on my soft skin

Once more, left alone 

Wishing for the sharp stems to lay in my palms 

Now they sit, soaking up heat 

Wilting in the water.
