Black Rose
In the garden where the shadows creep, there blooms a rose where death runs deep. Velvet petals, midnight black, kiss its thorns—you won’t come back. It lures you in, it pulls you close, whispers secrets no one knows. Dripping poison, scent so sweet, once you touch it, you’re complete... Black rose, black rose, growing where the cold wind blows. Beauty hiding blood and sin, once you...

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 not a rose if kissed with warmth? When petals...

half-a-face enclos’d in disharmony, an anti-bliss b’low with blister’d stains. breaths like steam, seal soak’d in leather, adorn’d in porcelain. a face his mother disdain’d. his image as if twins, one perfect the other dark soul’d, to the devil yet. but Christine, lifting fear from her countenance, braves to brace both palms against his cheeks. they feel so warm, tender, soft. they release true love...

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 all we possessed for a plot of land in Santa...

A black rose once bloomed, In a garden doomed, To hear jeering laughter, Slave of the white master, Cry, for rose bushes have thorns, Laugh, for there are roses on bushes of thorns, White’s grown common, see the unique, Make them belong that’s the trick, Often abused, hurt and exploited, Harshly spoken to, tactlessly treated, These buds are not allowed to gloom, Dipped often by birth...

They call me a black rose, braided with stains of sterling; Riddled with enormous thorns, to some a bit menacing; They call me a black rose, dark and threaded with pain; Stained with the blood of raindrops, a short fuse tipped with lightning; They call me a black rose, petals laced with shadows; No one every really...

I have walked roads so wide I have seen beauty held in pride To be frank, You’re beauty’s bank Your body has a voice That weakens my choice. You’re a woman to fill my life Someday, you will be my wife Darling, you’re too rich in beauty For poverty And too mature for puberty Beauty and poverty can’t share a hand I hope you understand Black Rose You’re today...

I legit never knew the beauty black roses possess. I stared at one day after day. She looked like she didn't want to be bothered. Still she'd look and stare. She grew differently than the red ones. Prepackaged, given to others in mass quantity. She'd sit alone and read amongst herself. With arched eyebrows and shapely dress. Most were afraid of her thorns....

Black Rose
Black Rose was her name, a pirate ship of great fame, she sailed the Cretan seas, of turquoise blue, so un-tame, crashing through the high waves, sea air in our hair, salt and rum on our tongue singing songs old & young, hell, it was great fun! our backs heated by the sun on the ropey rigging we hung, with sword and pistol gun, deep...

Black Rose
Although we were in two different places in our lives, we still made a connection. Out of the flowers in the garden, you had the ability to shine to my recollection. You have unique features that makes you incredible, worthy of my unlimited affection. Your hues, your fullness, your brightness, your feel captivated me like an infection. Nature has...

Love is my worst enemy Darkness within identity Changes with no promises Your eyes they rage ominous A black rose among red You don't eat when others get fed You don't get water, you shed All the truth that you have said No one believes you, they all just avoid Crumbling down an endless void...
