The man I love
Gave me
A black rose
Now my sister said
The nerve of him to give u
A black rose
But
I saved the black rose
It never wilted
I watched the black rose
It's pedals never fell
The black rose seemed so unnatural
My sister's man gave her
A white lotus
My sister said the nerve of him to give her
A white lotus
She threw it away
I took the white lotus
It opened and closed
I watched the white lotus
It lived and it died
I took the white lotus
and put it at my man's feet
The white lotus seemed so natural
My sister wanted neither flower
Because she couldn't understand
that the
Black Rose
was a symbol of
The eternal courage of Black Love
The white lotus speaks volumes of pure change
And is quite worthy of his feet
The white lotus perfects it self
So
In eternal black Love creation is complete
