Best Black Rose Poems

Peace seems like a once-written myth, now blurred from sight,  
like wrathful willows floating along sullen streams.  
There, stars linger to trace lost love in twilight’s grace,  
amidst the bitter cold wind roaring through the night.  
But is a black rose...

When death and his friends walked by it,
 It simply smiled and sank a little into its soil.

When its fresh air started to pollute, like the water it sapped on,
It simply smiled and sank a little into its soil.

When it sees the dusk rises out...

I stand back and gaze across my wonderful garden, in bloom.
There it lies in the morning sun, with petals glistening from dew.

No one realizes the extent of my love for the rose.  As a former resident from Acadia, Maine, my husband and I sold...

The deepest burgundy I have ever seen
The soberest black ever
So dense..so mysterious 
but still dont show its loving quiver.

The velvety touch
not resembling to hatred much
The silk of my heart it sways
Mysterious yet like a gorgeous love in heaven it was made

Like a diamond it shone...

I'm sitting here on my bed,
thinking of all the wonderful things you've said.
I can't wait to be with you,
theres nothing more I want to do.
I hate thinking of your pain,
When you cry it's like acid rain.
I'll always be by your side,
Thanks for staying on my...

I can't go on
The noise in my head
Futures bleak
Tomorrow i dread
 
Please come and see me
And I'll open my heart
Talk me through
And we will make a new start.
 
As quick as i could
The journey was made
As i opened the door
On the table was laid
 
An...

Did I tell you the story of my mystical black rose?
Well let me
In my troubled nights I took comfort in the scenery of my old window
One tiny sparkle always shone its way through the darkness, embracing my sorrow
Till the night I decided to visit my...

What shadows hide 
your dreaming petals?
Ebony srtains, pure
blackness never seen.
You Pimpernel rose 
will elusive 
be your name.
Entwined with brothers white
so many hearts 
to flutter.
A dream of Martin
Luther king
love seeps 
in roots together.
An emblem for embrace.
The African star
will not suffice,
to buy your knotted gait.
But to see...

THE RED/BLACK ROSE
-------------------------------
If I a placid pond sit
Still my shallow grounds
Engulfed within the woods
Submerged and bound

Arrayed with ruby rings
Robed in brunette pearls
What jewel would justly paint
With brush my clearest tint

Wouldst any drown the drink
The tongue calls a quench
Cool and clear as white
Atop the moonlit sky
Or...

Black rose on the wall
See the daylight no more
All the hearts are sore
Left black to the core
No need to wish for more

Take it! 
And throw it on the floor...

A thousand whispers echo,

at the end of the unending abyss.

Million are the doubts along,

numerous are perceptive degrees.

Sinking in the gyrating seduction,

deracinating subconsciously indeed.  

wandering amidst the chaotic sea,

Ignorance seems like a bliss.

Darkness whispers when life surrenders,

And the world has to decry.

Engulfed in the symphonic...

Soft like satin, delicate 
as skin, the petals of the 
black rose enchant with
its very vibe of obscurity.
Tender as tranquil notes
of music, silent as the
unknown, the black rose
beholds hidden beauty
that is rarely seen. 
As strong as true love,
as sharp as blades,
the black rose adorns
thorns that...

Black gold, velvet beauty rose bud
			
Lost in thy dreams you carry   
 		
Found dying in mourning flood	
	
Glancing upon your last stanza’s guard 	
	
Silent mantra and strips of sward 	
	
Love song breathe sadness, farewells wary

Flowing fields of black 
Roses the hue of night 
Dark meadow take me home 
Relieve me of my fright 
And take me back. 
Blackened fields of ashy rose 
Take me to my home 
Where I'll never see the sun again 
Where I'll never hate 
And...
