Black Rose

Your petals black as night

Your thorns remain frozen

And as you pray for light

There's no chance in chosen sight

Basking in darkness and hearing the lonesome cries,

as you shiver coldly,

when all clouds weep and tear, for you,

Solemn and lone...

Dismal dreams are hushed to sleep by the bidding of the winds

As you are too weak to weep and found rest amidst the dins

But now your time has come, my rose

To grow and your seeds to spread

Plant them deeply, so I can never forget...

Set free your soul in passion, and touch the stars with me

Dance within our grievance, and let tears become a sea

We shall fly, with wings above

Over the veils, night sprouted us of

You are my black rose

And as your beauty withers, with the rising of the sun

I too, shall lay with thee, as when our passion had begun

Our dreams and hopes, leaving as night retrieves her eyes

Shall die as will these words, spoken through love's voice

You tremble as I touch your dying hands

To sooth your pains and writhing, to help you understand

That we are are never dying, just arising to the lands

In which we can love freely

Where time has no commands.
