black velvet blossoms
delicate to the touch

the beauty
of the rose
cloaked in mysterious
darkness

what secrets lie beneath
the sable veil

a fragrance so honest
yet concealed
behind an ebony mask

why does it hide
perhaps in fear
perhaps
the fear of honesty itself

as you search for an answer
handle with care

for fragile
is the honest fragrance
of the rose
