Chocolate Rose Poem by Kathrine Philip

Hero picks up his weapon
He looks at his opponents
Chocolate; Black Lips

Makes a dash through the gas
Fighting till his very last
Poison means death

I hold my breathe
Oh God don’t die!
Mask on his face he takes
Even though knowing his fate

Sword slashes into the head,
His enemy is slain.
Alas I come up and look into his face.
I smile knowing his fate.

“You have saved me. The war is over.-
-Now I shall reward you with a kiss”
He replies saying, “You are the black rose! ”
My eyes close and I smile.

He stands up and cusses.
“Time runs short.”
I open my eyes
The glasses off…

I see bewitched green eyes
Breathe taken
I was shocked
“You, you are the-”

Quickly silently
He takes my face
Tilts it up

Black lips, red blood
Poison, death;
Sweet chocolate

I grab the mask,

Black lips…

His heart pounds twice

Red Blood…

Loving touch

Poison…

I give him one last hug

Death…

I stand over him now
A dark soft tear falls
I dare not lick my lips,
For fear of sweet chocolate.
