Anthony Bookram Poet I do not know?

My Dear Rose

My dear beautiful Rose 
the sky becomes darker on this cold night . 
The world becomes grey but you shine ever so bright .
Beauty in its purest form, as the shadows crept into my life I became my darkness ... A demon was born, 
Tho to you there was no evil in sight ;
You gave up a few of your petals to help me through the storm . In the end on that dark cold night,
You let me pick you from the dirt, 
killing you softly just so I could see the light .

Robert Lindley April 10, 2020 at 9:47 AM Dark which is one of my favorites. Your closing perfect. Have read Poe? If not , I would advise doing so- as with your talent and poetic leanings Poe would be a great poet to read, enjoy and study. I myself, did just that 50 years ago and highly recommend it.. A fav... God bless... Anthony Bookram April 11, 2020 at 9:43 PM Haha that's my favorite type, yes I've read many of Poe's work , thank you I appreciate the comment along with the advice.
