I'm the color black because I've been sold to sin.
Seen so many deaths in this world i live within.
                    With
        Tears of evil filled with pride
                 The black
              Rose and Dragon
                   Sign's
       Of dead love and a forgotten honor.
                    I've
       Been cursed to be alone and wonder.
              Fearful thoughts
                    And
               Time gone bye
        So it's in these memories I cry.

This "romantic" (in the sense of that epoch of writing, not ooey-gooey love) evocation of the lone sinner longing for love is excellent!

Well now. I like the work, and would like to see more of it. But the response to A_L bothered me.

"amazon lover thanks for your concern but this is part of who i am and the type of writer i am and i can't change that.'

smacks of futility and self pity... I don't believe there is anything about oneself that one cannot change (not speaking of the physical of course), choosing to be who and how we are makes us human, believing we are powerless to create ourselves makes us less so... If you can't change the type of writer you are, you will never reach the fullness of your talent, if you choose not to change, then acknowledge the choice and do not claim inability.

Okay, I just entered a party to which I was not invited.... beg pardon.
