black rose

To you black rose
Look deep into the centre
The very inner depth
colourless beauty

From a pack of lies
Left with the thorns,
scratching my inner body
In agony
I howl

Killing me slowly
Eating the soul in me
coloured
dark lies
Shades inner beauty

In the depth
my heart cold
From the inner you,
my dungeon hell
No fury

My rose,
for you black
Left on this page
The heart's colour

With a kiss
Goodbye black,
Magic with love
Turns colours
beautiful

Hi Liam

Some roses do indeed bear the sharpest of thorns - and black roses possibly the sharpest of all...

A poignant write...

Black is my favourite colour, I love black roses, they seem mysterious to me, and I do like a little mystery.

Liars don't always recognize their own lies.
As God creates all things equal and flawless, there must be a reason that they even exist in this universe.

A thought to ponder...
