Black Roses

This was originally a song...now most of the words are lost in time... ----------------------------------------------------------------- You were Always So ALIVE It hurts So bad To have to see you die I watch them Put you into the ground We all stare in suspense, Quiet, no sound I set Black roses On your stone Now I stand Alone

One is never really alone if you keep the one you've lost alive in your heart of hearts, one day the black rose for which you've laid, live turn a crimson red again and live. but you'll never forget my friend that black rose plainted deeply within your soul. cheri beautiful write above. and thank you for your comments

It's sad, laura. Are there really black roses? A most fitting symbol of death!

Lost love Laura? It is sad these funerals but I guess last rites help with closure. Nice poem you wrote.

Smile ˜ Unless A Seed Falls Unto the Ground & Dies, Then, It Stands Alone; But, If It Dies Then, It Produces Much Fruit * No Matter The Colour Of The Rose, My Dear Sweeet Beautiful Laura, Fragrance Still Permeats From Within The Core Of Its Creation * And Again, Shall It Die, Then, Sweeter The Perfume * My Love, Forever; John!:) ˜
