A single Black Rose to turn the tide
A single Black Rose to make one die
A single Black Rose to ensnare the soul
A single Black Rose to widen that hole
A single Black Rose to melt the heart
A single Black Rose to force a start
A single Black Rose to entwine the bodies
A single Black Rose to dictate the deaths of these
A single Black Rose to lie upon her breast
A single Black Rose to stop the tears from soaking his vest
A single Black Rose to mourn this memory
A single Black Rose to become a plot in this cemetery
A single Black Rose to take a life
A single Black Rose to end his strife.

A single black rose happens to be symbolise a lot of things in my own life... it is sensual and epitomises beauty and individuality... it is a powerful poem and even the death is not a sad affair, but almost a celebration.
I must say this is my favorite by far. Your poems are better when they rhyme, in my opinion anyway.
simply beautiful.......no black rose for this poem......wondetful flow that touches the soul...
this is amazing! ! it shows many sides to one thing but it never makes the meaning of the one before fade! ! ! ! i hope you understand what i just wrote! !
The choice here was to recommernd or not to recommend this poem. I liked the repetition of the Single Black Rose but I didn't like the rhymes very much. There is a fine line here that I simply chose not to cross. I decided not to recommend it. GW62

I really love this one. While initially others may see only death and depression, I see a man who has love, has passion, has pain...I see proof that he his alive! I think this is my new favorite.
