The Black Rose (1/23/95)A Poem by Katseye
The Black Rose
You were afraid to tell me. Didn't think I'd understand... White roses- they mean friends. Pink- I like you. Red- I love you, of course. Yellow- I'm sorry. Black roses- mean death, right? At least to most, They mean saying goodbye. Not to me. They mean a life of happiness. For what you said, They mean to you. You said that when paired with roses: White, pink, yellow, and red; The black rose means- We'll be together for all our life. Yes the black rose means death: Death of sadness and pain, Not of love. You've shared: Your hopes and dreams, Your sadness and fears; Will you now, Share your life with me? Each night I hope and dream, That you will bring to me... The black rose. And with it give to me; Your love for life. © 2009 Katseye |
