Black Rose

“The color black has always been synonymous with death and mourning. It is thus the color of sadness and farewell. So, many people consider black roses to symbolize bereavement, loss and mortality. Since black represents death, many interpret the black rose to mean vengeance that may lead to the death of a foe. The negative connotations here are far reaching, and make the black rose the least sought after among roses.”

Contrary to many nuances, I, for one, am an admirer of this rare flower. The rose, as it is, is a beautiful flower and the color black only adds more aesthetic value to it. Yet its dark color is also its tragic foe since it is a symbol of death that most of us fear.

For me the meaning of black rose is not definite. It may symbolize death and mourning yet death need not be a ghastly topic at all. It can be a cause of new beginnings and a journey to unexplored territory. Death may be the death of bad habits and old order. It is standing at a brink of a new era that inspires hope.

I have longed that someone may give me a black rose. I have once created a poem about person, hhmmm, shall we put it, I once loved. My pain is not the black rose I refer but rather the inflicter of my misery. Out of pain I created about 3 lovely poems, that I have been so darn proud of. I guess, what I’m trying to say is that a black rose is a black rose and its meaning is all up to you. Don’t get so caught up about how others perceive it. Open up your mind to the many things that society may find unacceptable.

The black rose does not have too many warm or positive nuances,but it has been always admired for its beauty, one that I would strongly agree…
