Black Rose

To you black rose Look deep into the centre Their you will find in the very inner depths colourless beauty From a pack of lies swearing Left with the thorns scratching my inner body In agony I howl Killing me slowly your insults Eating the soul out of me coloured dark lies fading light Shades inner house In the depth my heart cold ice chilled by the inner you My dungeon hell has no fury My rose for you black Left on this page The heart's colour With a kiss Goodbye black Magic with love Turns colours beautiful

A kiss will take all the darkness away! If only it were that simple for this world!It is amazing how far one act of love goes to change the color of a heart. I love your take on the black rose. Quite resilient, this one is, Always, Laura

Awhile ago i was thinking of writing about a black rose...but i never died..Black rose of torment and pain..Maybe mourning petals have withered by now..and one can see colours again..Splash me a rainbow of petals..and voila..black has gone to hell
