Black Roses
Symbol of
everlasting love,
a rose
blooming
the bud opens
the red petals unfold
flourishing in the sunlight
dewdrops sparkling
on the grass
Plucked from the garden
doomed
to live the life
of love
and death
The disappearing dewdrops
vanished
in the heat
as your love
deserted me
And when I was alone,
Spring turned to summer.
Summer turned to fall.
Life from the rose
wilted
as you
faded away,
abandoning me.
forgotten.
The crimson flower
turning s...l...o...w...l...y
to black.
