Here, Now, Forever

I saw you in the sunlight,
glazed upon the water.
You knew I knew you knew I saw,
Yes, love, you were smiling.

A black rose blooms,
In a city that doesnt exist.
Friends I've never met but know,
A black rose blooms,
and you were crying.
Crying, on we reap and sow.

I reached for you,
So many times I did.
I screamed.
I called your name.
I wanted to grip your labored hands.
You saw me not, 'tis all the same.

I saw you in the sunlight,
glazed upon the water.
I saw them all,
and they saw me.
A black rose blooms.
and 'tis for thee.

Reap and sow, these weathered fields,
These centuries of not and no.
Slash and burn,
You wont return,
Wary of the jester's woe.

In a familiar city that doesnt exist,
Among faces I've never seen but know,
I'll meet you there,
I promise you.
I'll meet you there,
and know.

Blackened roses,
Reaped and sowed.

I liked it. and Black Roses does sound about right. Maybe something like Black Rose Aggression could have worked as well.

quite exquisite, enjoyed

New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire

I love this so much! Amazing work. Wow...
This is going in my library. Thanks for sharing.

If I could fall asleep tonight
you know I’d dream of you
and wake up wondering
why my heart is so cold

funny, your critique line says that your poetry sucks...

I happen to like this one quite a bit.

I love this part! This poem is so beautiful!
