It is a passing love affair
The black thorny rose
Thin stemmed 
Bleeding nightmare
Beauty bathed in darkness
Like a black cat
Sleek feline queen of Sheba 
Narcissus and Nefertiti
Persephone
Eyes open no final reflection in death
Just peace from life’s pain
Not a mistress I would pursue for a kiss
But one that one day I might not resist

Beautiful description the imagery is amazing.. makes other roses look inferior

Roses are irresistible at times.
You know they are deadly and can hurt you, cause you to bleed and cry, but they are capable of loving.
Part of the reason for name.
