BLACK ROSE

The velvety dark night draws towards an end

coveting emotions surge and spread inside

courageous goals of colourful dreams stare from a distance  

the muted quiet solitude beats with the heart 

as it feels the strong desires,resilient

shining gloriously with the first golden rays , the day exalts

achievement of love, the consumation, happy sighs of contenment.

Glancing at the colour stains of yesterday

hopelessness floats out of the window as the flowy breeze wipes the condensed tears from the glass

The curtain flows like the silky night, gradually

silence flows in tune with it, rhythmically

My eyes still look ahead, though heavy with sleep

the eyelids laden with dreams, flutter and droop

as the petal of the red bud opens,with all thoughts in repose

eclipsing the dark night and the black rose!
