Subject: Black Rose Sonnet







TITLE: "Black Rose Sonnet"




The stars on heaven's deck rhyme in hot black.
The black and moon-kissed must this writer show
When first the teeth ache then the heart attack.
Then I would ask a cure for thoughts I know,

Where time is wasted in love's sweet decay.
Youth holds in light for only one cold kiss.
Breathe in the richness of this bitter stay.
Rough lips in secret say it's love they miss.

Oh moon, you touch the stars before my sight.
Wild thoughts on dark wings sing into my room
To change all things in this long lonely night,
My mad blue mind floats deeply with pale gloom;

If fates be wise, then will I grow anew?
I know for certain, dearly I love you.
