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
