A single Black Rose to turn the tide <br />A single Black Rose to make one die <br />A single Black Rose to ensnare the soul <br />A single Black Rose to widen that hole <br /> <br />A single Black Rose to melt the heart <br />A single Black Rose to force a start <br />A single Black Rose to entwine the bodies <br />A single Black Rose to dictate the deaths of these <br /> <br />A single Black Rose to lie upon her breast <br />A single Black Rose to stop the tears from soaking his vest <br />A single Black Rose to mourn this memory <br />A single Black Rose to become a plot in this cemetery <br /> <br />A single Black Rose to take a life <br />A single Black Rose to end his strife. <br /> <br />(8/21/2007)<br /><br />Michael Koelliker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-single-black-rose/
