daez'z Poetry....
Black Rose

Do you see the red sky burning
Can you feel the heat...the yearning...
It's blazing on your petals
Like hard dry ice it settles....

Can you spread your wings and hover.....
Can you FREE yourself...take cover
Your petals are open, unprotected...
But isn't this what you EXPECTED????

You're surrounded by the birdsong...
Concentrated...hungry...so strong
You were born to die...so don't even try...
For your beauty is only for the eye....

So you bend and wilt...dry and empty
Petals hit the ground...all around me....
As your lovely facade
Longs to linger in shade....
It's the choice that GOD made
You are going to fade....

You're a flower...yes...you ARE eye candy....
When we pick you it comes in quite handy
For an artist a muse....
You're just something to use
And you're going to lose
Out with all the refuse....

As the sunsets its power is broken
And for you life is over...a token
Pleasure like this can't last
For your beauty fades fast
But your heart filled a task
You are free now...RELAX.....

....just me...daez
