A black rose

A black rose,

balancing tentatively,

alone,

swept carelessly

by the wind,

taunted,

by the rain,

splashing across

its soft, velvet surface,

shimmering and 

reflective,

the morphed world

gliding past,

an ethereal form.


The black rose,

continues on its

spiral journey,

not wondering

the why or where,

its purpose,

not important,

as it balances

on a precipice,

a knifes edge of choice,

one it has no say in,

merely, 

blown by the wind,

a black rose

on a black coffin.
