Red Petals, Dark Souls

Missing image



Roses are red
with dark souls
Absorbing the beauty of the night
Soaking in the moonlight
Devouring any allowance of love

Red petals drowned in their own tears
one for every lost love
Thorns that rip the flesh letting you bleed
Their purity feeding off the decaying dead
staining the very soul of a lost savant
Soaked in a bath of crimson
it’s true color changing  into shades of black
 
Roses are red or are they?

    Nicely penned, very creative and intriguing, the ending captivated much imagery that shone through this piece.

    I have the crimson black night in a bed of thorns and the blessings of the very white. Passions kiss comes in a tropicana orange and the rest are soft reds that sleep in my heart. The question is not the rose or it thorns but how the blood is shed.
    Love, Tom B.
