Black Roses

[dezdimona]

Black roses on

a casket,

Black roses on

the ground

 

Has you soul

rebelled from you,

has it all

but gone?

 

Black roses smell

oh so sweet,

but what do

they convey?

 

misery and loss

of life,

or so the

lonely say.

 

Black roses in

the sunlight,

petals all unfurled,

sweet aroma of

decay

spread all across

the world

 

Black roses given

in mourning,

laid down at

your feet

 

Black roses held

in high esteem'

as your heart

skips a beat.

 

Black roses set

upon my new

grave,

and tattooed across

my back.

 

Were they given

for loves gone

by,

or given for

emotions that I

lack?

 

Black roses drip

a nectar of

blood red,

Black roses given

to my love,

from a heart

so dead.

 

 

Black roses bloom

in the full

moons glare,

Black roses given

to the one.

 

 

Black roses do

give my soul

comfort,

and am I

the only one?

It seems to me...that this doesn't describe black roses, but instead their personality, as though humanized. Their interaction with the human world involves tragedy, misery, and dark emotions. Their presence is like that of the grim reaper. Dark not because of their color, but what their presence conveys.
