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.
