A single Black Rose to turn the tide
A single Black Rose to make one die
A single Black Rose to ensnare the soul
A single Black Rose to widen that hole
A single Black Rose to melt the heart
A single Black Rose to force a start
A single Black Rose to entwine the bodies
A single Black Rose to dictate the deaths of these
A single Black Rose to lie upon her breast
A single Black Rose to stop the tears from soaking his vest
A single Black Rose to mourn this memory
A single Black Rose to become a plot in this cemetery
A single Black Rose to take a life
A single Black Rose to end his strife.

A single black rose happens to be symbolise a lot of things in my own life... it is sensual and epitomises beauty and individuality... it is a powerful poem and even the death is not a sad affair, but almost a celebration.
I really love this one. While initially others may see only death and depression, I see a man who has love, has passion, has pain...I see proof that he his alive! I think this is my new favorite.
simply beautiful.......no black rose for this poem......wondetful flow that touches the soul...
this is amazing! ! it shows many sides to one thing but it never makes the meaning of the one before fade! ! ! ! i hope you understand what i just wrote! !
The choice here was to recommernd or not to recommend this poem. I liked the repetition of the Single Black Rose but I didn't like the rhymes very much. There is a fine line here that I simply chose not to cross. I decided not to recommend it. GW62

I must say this is my favorite by far. Your poems are better when they rhyme, in my opinion anyway.
