Black Rose

by xPerfect Chaosx   Jan 24, 2007


Lies upon my grave
Curses upon you all
Damned to eternal Hell
Pain is my companion
By the stale moonlight
I watch in silence

A single black rose
Untainted by the blood
Oblivious to the moons caresses,
The gentle touch of the breeze
Moves the stagnant air
I watch in silence

Unfathomable
The silent serenity
Holds so much anger and hurt
No trace of the bloody ground
The moonlight purifies the scars
I watch in silence

Haunting melody
The cries of the damned
Fill long forgotten corners of hearts
The silent figure moves through
The unmarked graves
I watch in silence

The single black rose
Hollow and uncaring
Upon my grave
Nimble fingers, my demise
Stolen away from me
I watch in silence

Reaching out
Hardened eyes, empty cries
For the power to do more
Than just watch,
Escapes quaking fingertips
I watch in silence

Dead eyes
Silent, so alone
So afraid of the crippling fear
The tears are unreal
So fake, like the rest of it
And I watch in silence

I know, this really doesn't make sense, but can you comment and rate please?

**And in the beginning, when it says lies on my grave, I'm talking about like you lie to someone, not lay down. My friend and I had a lengthy discussion about which was right!! he he. Thanks for reading and I hope you like it!!**

    I like the 'unmarked grave' image. I haven't a clue why. This is eerily haunting. o3o

    I tend to obsess over using precisely the right word for what I want.. Ot has to sound right, feel right, and conjure the right image. I can make a pradaox just by using a synonym over a common word, sometimes.

    It's... Me trying to remember Shruikan. But I got it confuzzled with 'Galabtroix'... I liked the result ocne I realised it was wrong. XD

    Maybe that poem didn't make a lot of sense in a conventional sense but never the less i found it hauntingly beautiful.i liked how the poem stanzas were relatively short and changed. like the brief reflections off the facets of a jewel. each one different and at myriad angles. yet still part of the same jewel
