Nothing and Nowhere

Like an angel crying blood
The brilliant red stands out
From a stark background
It is softer than silk
and more delicate than the finest porcelain
It holds love upon a pedestal
a benchmark of what is to be expected
from a man
courting a woman.
It's beauty so enviable, but
touch it and watch
your blood
drip upon it, like dew on a Spring morning.
Slowly, the beauty fades.
The posture droops and the brilliant red
becomes stained.
It sheds what it once held so dear
held so proud
It sheds the embodyment of love
and as it's body wilts and dies
So does the spark of a new romance
So does the belief that love will conquer all
The realisation dawns
even love has its thorns.


*hey, uh haven't written in like forever, so yeah :S*

I am a wilted black rose. Searching for cracks of sunlight, to nurture me. And to help me grow.

I was reading that in black white and red. Very vivid, like lipstick. Gah, stupid similies. This was for lack of a better word awesome. Cool title for it too, fits the poem really well. Sort of subdued me that poem.

Courts.

Come on God, do I seem bulletproof?
