I came upon a clearing, so beautifully laid.
Songs from the trees, in the wind, swirled;
The streams running by me laughed at the world.
But 'twas the black rose that commanded my eyes.

A dark magic did this rose o'er me possess;
Gazing at its petals, my heart distressed.
Its thorns promised an easeful death, as it called:
"Come, follow MY song; I will catch your fall."
And death swooped in out of the skies.

The breeze now raged against the trees,
And the brooks became like stormy seas,
And a petal from the rose was caught by the gust
To rest on a flower--which turned to dust.
And I watched the rose consume the valley, spreading like lies.

The Black Rose

As I crawled through the forest, lost and afraid,
I came upon a clearing, so beautifully laid.
Songs from the trees, in the wind, swirled;
The streams running by me laughed at the world.
But 'twas the black rose that commanded my eyes.

A dark magic did this rose o'er me possess;
Gazing at its petals, my heart distressed.
Its thorns promised an easeful death, as it called:
"Come, follow MY song; I will catch your fall."
And death swooped in out of the skies.

The breeze now raged against the trees,
And the brooks became like stormy seas,
And a petal from the rose was caught by the gust
To rest on a flower--which turned to dust.
And I watched the rose consume the valley, spreading like lies.

i like it. It's very well written and the poem just gets my attention and holds it. I also like the rhyme scheme.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
