Black Rose in Ecstasy

by Gregory W Golden   Jul 5, 2007


Time stood patiently on top of the hill.

Wake up black rose to a glorious night.

You dance and sway in gray moonlight.

If you bend your leaves, then I will tip my hat

Radiate black rose, rise up and be bold.

Do your leaves flutter like wings of gold?

Thou art a chameleon of dark night.

Stems and leaves absorbs the light.

You promised me magic, when I look up to the hills

Then, I dance and swirl in the poppy fields,

As a dozen black roses explode in the sky, with ecstasy.

    I love this. Absolutly love it all. I wish you were still on this site but it looks like you're gone.
    Great work, all the detail and the imagery. But mostly the theme was outstanding, nothing was cliche, it was all fresh and sharp. 5/5
