Because The Night

I grow wild, young and bewitching 

One of many, I'm a dark rose

I glow in the dawn of your love 

Come to me and touch me 

 

I whisper slowly monstrosities 

That sound deliciously sweet to your ears

Such kissable petals I wear

But deadly toxic to the first bite

 

So fragile at the first sight 

Drink my poisonous tears

Bloody venom that will kill you 

Oh come to me baby 

 

Secretly my core wishes 

A storm could crack my stem 

Feel my spines piercing my life 

And fade away in my own trap 

 

But shush, it's a secret 

While I take your soul away

You will bow to my innocence, much... 

In the end, I'm only a dark rose

The title , the poem and the descriptions are all wonderful...:)

[fireblossom]

Lovely. Truly.

You have an inner life. This poem helps you express things that otherwise one hopes stay hidden to all except those who earn the right to see and hear them.

You captured my interest with this poem. Good work.

In a garden full of posers a single dark rose stood. Silent, patient.. awaiting the storm. The red roses full of color and life gossiped about the day this dark rose would die. But when the rain came and the clouds laughed with ferocity the dark rose stood still with all her vitality. Perished was the garden and all of its bloom, trailed along the floor lied red petals doomed. Standing still like a victorious queen the dark rose arose the true pseudo erotic queen. Great poem Autumn, you put such vivid imagery and inspiration into your readers. Good job!

[Sam Sin Sepultura]

Damn, this was awesome. The flow is amazing, kind of a sexy one to read lol. A sexy-dark kind of one though, but sometimes that is the best kind. I really feel how the temptress' mind works here. Please keep writing, can't wait to read more from you, your writing has style :)

[Prritiy]

a poem of torturous love, an evil love, a good write.

[Barbara Walker]

Your words paint a picture of evilness, with a bit of a guilty conscious coming through wanting to do away with the evil within. But the stronger feelings win out and woe to those who 'drink your poisonous tears." Great write!

Indeedly...

[Calibaster]

Wow, this is really, really good! great job!!! :) :) ;)

[Eloha]

Autumn you make me smile, and I am rather excited to read your biography and also clearly that you are on holidays for the Olympics.

Some of your phrasing is exceptional.

[Autumn]

Haha thank you sommuch for your kind review, i am actually away from london to spain for summer enjoying the beach and sun. I didn't want to stay for the olympics..

[Eloha]

We are so clearly of divergent opinions on this one! (Olympics!) Does Spain even have an Autumn season? pshaw.

[Autumn]

Hahaha yes it does actually, part of my family lives in spain, so it's an excuse to go there, plus living all year long in london it feeld nice to change air :) are you going to the olympics?

[Eloha]

Only in spirit. I wish to better understand your biography....if I knew you better I'd study you like a season.

But I've always imagined London terribly rainy and drab, is Spain not too sad with the economy?

[Autumn]

I love rain and cold wind, that is one of the reason that i moved to london. Spain is terrible with the economy, its very hard for the people who works there..

Haha, well anything you want to know just ask :)

[Eloha]

Well, random as it may seem, with your background in dance, do you ever watch the show "So you think you can Dance"? I'm quite a fan of it, I find it rather inspiring.

[Autumn]

I used to watch it, sometime i still do but for me dancing was something i really enjoyed and now i'm not able to dance anymore so it makes me a little bit sad/jealous watching it

[Autumn]

Do you dance?

[Eloha]

I used to dance, but not seriously. What is your favorite style?

[Autumn]

Classic most of all, but I enjoyed salon dance and cabaret too. Now i can only swim which doesn't hurt too much my legs

[Forever Hidden]

Really vivid!
