Garden of Sorrow
Tears....flowing tears
Water the wet mud
Black roses thrive
More sorrows bud
Fears....growing fears
Frightening the skies
For they hide behind clouds
Away from my eyes
As the tree of the past
Shakes off memories
crushed autumnly to ashes
Riding the windy breeze
I remember that you were
The first white rose
To be infected by darkness
To die with petals closed
Why had every flower
That grew after you
Drunk the same elixir
And was darkened too?
Tears wasted here
Where no one dares to go
For death's hand attend
This garden of sorrow
