Rose Requiem

In the shadow of the rose, she finds her solace, A moment's peace, a lifetime's dark grace. Her lips, a crimson whisper, a promise unspoken, As the red bloom crowns her, a symbol unbroken. The earrings dance, like tears, down her ear, A melancholy serenade, a sorrow so clear. The smoke, a gentle lover's caress, a fleeting sigh, As she gazes upwards, lost, in a world gone by. The black and white world, a canvas of pain, A rose's dark beauty, her heart's deep stain. Yet, in the stillness, she finds a strange peace, A requiem for love, a soul's release. In this moment, she is free, untold, A rose in full bloom, her story unfold. The darkness shines, a radiant glow, As she embraces the shadows, her heart made whole.
