The Ballad Of The White Rose And The Raven

The Ballad Of The White Rose And The Raven

A Poem by Ross Emerson Realino

Everything is new to see
Like a child under the sun
All are dangerously beautiful
Even a policewoman equipped with a gun

Step outside while summer time's in bloom
Look at the lonely rose that ever grows
Wasting his time watching birds fly by
Until the raven came near the white rose

Nothing is real except for the two
He blooms as she blindly ignores him
Nothing is left except for their strange names
Only witnesses are the clouds of cream

It seems like no one really cares
Empty and nothing to say
In this hot and freezing afternoon
The white rose died as the raven flew away

Such a stunner of a piece mate, the contrast between the light and the dark are well represented in your well chosen words. There are some sharp and passionate words in there that give the poem a lot of life, wonderful XxXx

I used to try writing songs before but I can't make one, so I tried to find something where I can put my early works of lyrics. Until they were turned into poems. I started poetry when I was 16 years .. more..
