Black Rose Nectar

Rain drops spatter
On dark silk petals
Sunshine gleams
As the bee settles

Autumn leaves
Her beauty in tact
Snowflakes glide off
Remembering their pact

People’s minds ponder
How does she survive
All these seasons rage
Yet she stays alive

Her petals don’t wilt
Her nectar always fresh
She is definitely a mystery
Through every season, they mesh

Everything is drawn to her
She doesn’t seem to mind
She’ll still be blossoming
So black, lovely, and kind

Allowing all who admire her
To come and get their fill
Her nectar will never dry up
Though all the bees steal

Sticking their mouths
To taste her sweetness
Drunk on her liquid
Their secret little weakness
