The Black Rose
~*~

I readied my soul for anything late one night
The moon was full the stars very bright
I stood alone not knowing what might come about
Nothing, I told myself would frighten me this night
Then came a strong and chilling wind
I stood my ground and moved not an inch
Out of the blackness of the night, walking
straight towards me, a beautiful sight
The wind still strong and very cold, blowing
a woman's long golden locks too and fro
I stood still wondering who and why, as I
then noticed a single black rose beneath
the streaming golden hair
The awesome beauty,
Came even closer, in the blackness and cold wrapped her
Arms around the back of my neck, and deposited a very warm kiss
I was frozen, she captured and locked up forever
my mortal soul
