Day 7 - Black RosesEntry #635140



A black rose symbolizes death, farewell.

For Day 7, write a poem (or prose) involving love through/during death, farewell.

Black Roses



Beneath the fertile soil in the garden of my life

Lay the precious seed of hopes and dreams; an amnesty from strife

Assured my treasured promise in just weeks would start to bloom

Counting eight months down, the joys I’d found felt deep within the womb

Knotted, twisting, snarled roots; suffocating breath

Right before his birth day, he experienced his death

Overture caught in a loop lamenting shriveled shoot

Sadness choked me; farewells whispered, rendering me mute

Eight black roses in my grip whose thorns pierce mourning skin

Stand for his life without which my tomorrow must begin.
