Sara Kendrick Poet Couplet

The Black Tulip

The touch of his had was  electric
As he gently took her hand and kissed it

The kiss was soft and an easy touch
He was the man she felt the rush

He was the man of her dreams
The great charmer so it seemed

But he was really like a black tulip
That is a dark, dark purple that rules it

Underneath the darkness lay
It didn't come out for many a day

By the time the tulip bloomed
Her whole life lay ahead surely doomed

Krystal Cochrane October 4, 2009 at 9:57 PM Sara, I feel a strong connection to this poem. I understand the emotion too clearly. Nicely expressed, especially: "But he was really like a black tulip That is a dark, dark purple that rules it" Beautiful line. ~KC~

Robin L. Gass October 4, 2009 at 4:06 PM Excellent Couplet, Sara! Deep and forboding. We never know what lies beneath the surface and some of the best charmers are the worst offenders! Love, Robin
