Vast Sea Of Dark Roses



Vast sea of dark roses,
The smell so sweet,
In love with all purity,
This shall be where we meet,

With eyes gazing the dark sea,
Black blossoms swaying free,
Waiting forlorn,
Searching for an appearance,

Then in the midst of the ever-flowing ocean,
Hope steals my grasp,
Thine orbs wide open,
A figure in the fog returns my gaze,
Our lock is lost through thickening haze,

As I shift through the buds to reach my beloved,
A soft feel repeals me,
we bind so fervid,
Ascending unto the grey-heavens entwined,
Dark roses, Black blossoms, left behind...

About this poem

I wrote this when I was 16 years old....it still depicts in my mind a clip from a wondrous dream I had where love had found me through all of lifes' darkness and sheer beauty...as I had found true comforting love through all the haze and daze

Krystil N Baker

Born and raised in Jacksonville, FL. 35 y/o, one 6 y/o daughter. Single. Lover of dark arts and the occult. Though, I only practice benevolently. I am forever searching for words to accompany lifes influences and daily tribulations...I like paying attention to details, seeing between the lines. This existence already holds so much symbolism but the beauty of it all is how one's perception interprets its meaning. I am most definitely intrigued by synchronicities, supernatural happenings, otherworldly this and that..so I create poetry when I can, I also feel great inspiration from music. Always shifting between bands but I'm mostly a fan of Tech-metal, Nu-metal, some times Gothic-metal, Industrial and even Synth-Pop. I play guitar and will be going back to Bass soon. I love music and the emotions that arise, especially when I'm engulfed in one of my favorite songs is quite impossible to suppress. I'd like to claim being highly passionate although shyness does mask my desires often times. I believe poetry is a great healer in and of itself. Expression, connection, lively indulgence, conscious awareness...let it baffle you...then put your own meaning and then words to it....there is no boundary to the mind...only prior programming and obstacles that can be taken down and set free... more…
