My words and feeling about: The Sick Rose by William Blake

The Sick Rose by William Blake --- Rendition by Micheleyves

In contrast to popular belief, this poem unveils a mask of worldly desires thus stripping every ounce of pureness from the soul. I think the poem expresses the premise of transgression.

 

 

The rose is indeed sick; sickness falls upon its beauty filled with sin. It was once like an adolescent, the bloom of innocence.

 

The temptation of an imp exceeds her moral aspects of life.

 

The cries in the night are filled with desires and chaos bonded by selfishness.

 

Time has changed all, in a unusually abrupt manner.

 

The sinner now knows right from wrong, faith, love, and wickedness. Imagine a place where faith and unbelief cross paths, and a place where the roads converge good and evil.

 

The pain, suffering, and isolation are most comforting, exposing the dark secret of your mortal sins.

 

You welcome these sins, just like greeting an old lover as it destroys a tapestry of beauty.

I think you may be extrapolating a little too much in the latter half, but you're more or less correct.
