Red like Roses [Extened Lyrics]

The first lines in red are from the song by Jeff Williams, the rest is my own.

Red like roses,
Fills my dreams,
And takes me to,
The place you rest.

White is cold,
And always yearning,
Burdened by,
A royal test,

Black the beast,
Descends from shadows,
Holds on to those,
Poor lost souls

Yellow beauty,
Holds within,
Fire strong like,
Burning gold,

Red like velvet,
Carries on,
To castles strong,
And legends old,

White like snowflakes,
Light and floating,
Fall and melt,
On bodies cold,

Black the darkness,
Ever shifting,
Finds within,
A strength unmatched,

Yellow lightning,
Bright and shining,
Falls to the Earth,
Like the rest.

Light is flickr'ing,
Slowly Dying,
Darkness Falls,
Across the land,

Four are strong,
And stand united,
Rise on up,
and take a stand.

I love the imagery in this poem and how you helped incorporate and expand this piece from starting from an existing song. Very creative idea you used and loved how you extended the explaination of each color. It flows well and the form fits perfectly :) Wonderful write with this!

my goodness, this is really quite wonderful! I like how you expanded on the lyrics here and described the colours as if they were people, and like what the colours typically represent. I dont know if this made any sense, but I really liked this work. Great job, love :)
