La Rose Noire
So special are you,
matt black velvet petals
that shimmer with droplets
of water playing with light.
Unique are thee to all your
sisters, similar but so alone.
something so very beautiful,
yet not without your own secrets,
Soft sweet gentle mesmerizing fragrance
drifts closer in the darkest night,
but by dawn once again
you are gone.
Exotic dark beauty, yet be
very careful of those
menacing sharp
piercing thorns.
There be a darker side,
though not easily or often seen.
That be your lesson, never be
casual with La Rose Noire.
