THE BLACK ROSE

THE BLACK ROSE

A Poem by Joseph B Clipper

I turned my eyes towards the vision
stealing through the shadowed gate
alone I stood in the midst of questions
wondering if i'd ever see
wondering if i'd ever be
wondering if it was all too late

the war worn sword of the ages gone
on the anvil of the gods it was cast
and wrenched from out a dying hand
of a wizard, who, with demon slain
lay fallen in the mortals game
the laugh the was his loudest was his last

now I shall take the lions share
and dwell within the dragons lair
before my own dark hour comes to pass
i'll carve my heart of frozen stone
and satan's hell will be my home
this devils blood will stain the flowing grass

for a day will come when I will see
and pluck the friut from adam's tree
the wind of triumph throughout the land will blow
and I will race towards the setting sun
where god and I will be as one
and kiss the petals of my minds black rose
