Feature 3: BLACK ROSE



Just like the rarest black rose

She was, a complete picture of repose.

When I first saw her, I froze

Through the stained glass window, she looked at crows.


Dark clothes, Dark eyes

Dark mansion, Dark tiles.

I was mesmerised with her gothic wiles,

But alas! I was away a hundred miles.


Just like the rarest black rose

With three shades that arose

Red, purple and maroon grows

Whose beauty is unopposed.


She doesn’t possess a black soul,

Her heart is not of coal.

Behind the layers that fold

Hurt and Pain, she holds.


Dark Rooms, Dark Nights

With her demons, alone she fights.

In her world, there are no lights,

All she had witnessed were heartbreaking sights.


She was a great Tycoon

Who inside her beholds a Typhoon

For admiring her, I’ve been called a loon

But I’ll never abandon my moon.


Just like the rarest black rose

With the world, she is not close.

With the wind, when her hair flows

At a race of its own, my heart goes.
