Las Rosa Negro

A very special piece... Hint,hint ;o)

"Las Rosa Negro"

Plush ebony blooms
Alone
In fields of ivory
Rising from weeds
Seeking to strangle;
It's bouquet
Drifts upon the breeze
Confusing
Enticing passer-by's
Longing
For the attention it desires;
It's petals unfurled
Lifted in triumph
Against backdrops of oppression
It sings quietly
Faintly
Drawing them in
To behold it's splendor;
Ah lil' rosa negro
How long til adoration
Takes you upon it's shears?
