A Mechanical Rose

You found me alone in the dark
A place time forgot how to mark
Graced with a crown made from dust
Attended by servants of rust
My soul just awaiting a spark
Wind my mechanical heart
A touch that will set me apart
Lead me in dance to your tune
Like water caresses the dune
Less of a science than art
Each beat is a tick or a tock
To turn the last key in my lock
Show me a way to the sun
Where two takes the place of the one
A feeling unbound by the clock
I welcomed your light in my room
A solace replacing the gloom
Machinery coming alive
Into this new world I dive
Where unbroken roses may bloom

Random poetry things!
I just felt like writing something different today, while enjoying a spot of sun on the balcony after a delicious lunch. Some phrases just popped into my head, and again I was saved by my habit of keeping a notepad within reach at all times.
So, born from a warm summer day and a slightly spicy chicken salad with a side of garlic bread and iced lemon-water by the pitchers, I give you A Mechanical Rose.
As always, thanks for reading :)
