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
Spring turned to summer
Summer turned to fall
And life from the rose
wilted
as your love
left me alone
The crimson flower
turning slowly to black
