A Single Black Rose

 

A single black rose…

Floats in the stream of my mind

In remembrance of you

And the love we sought to find

 

Its petals are still cushiony soft

Although time has added its mark

The edges are now furled

Manifesting the journeys embarked

 

Gliding gently in the water

Whilst the sun beats upon it daily

Amazingly still holds a faint scent

If held to nostril, fragrance would assail thee

 

Never plucked from this destiny

It will indefinitely drift abroad

Succumbing to earth from which it sprang

Completing a cycle that has forever awed

 

My love for you…

Is like the stigma of a black rose

Hoping to be pollinated on your breeze

For in reproducing, it will never decompose

A very breathtaking beautiful piece. I like the way it unfolds the beauty of a romantic black rose. Very well written.

wow =O! that was wonderful! i loved it!
the way you described it slowly over the course of the poem, the detail given to the way the rose is just there, it makes the impression so deep in the mind =D!
That really was wonderful! :3
