Rose of Black

Written while reading the last three Harry Potter books.

So delicate
A depiction of death
Can be....
She took a sip
From that cup of passion
Bitter
Yet sweet
A solution formed
From Temptation, Envy, Avarice, Lust
And a rose of black
Delicate
Yet deadly
A sinister smile
Forged upon her lips
Dripping with the poison
The nectar of its petals
The sharpness of its thorns
The motif of dark
Touched her soul
And corrupted her
Forevermore
