Twilight
Twilight on the grave
Dew settles in the night
A mythical heart I crave
By warm candlelight
Moisture kissed quagmire
Twin heartbeats still
Yearning eyes afire
Enraptured by the thrill
I take you in my arms
Fetid smell upon skin
Like faded posy charms
Flesh parched thin
My paramour lover
Sepulcher,Β prolepsis breath
Through tears I discover
I fear not mortal death
II
O lover how I wept
Lost in the night
In your arms swept
Warmed by candlelight
I long for an embrace
Ignite my cadaver heart
Caressing your sweet face
Smitten by loveβs dart
In stasis we embellish folklore
Within shadows of the dark
Entombed on the moor
Where times leaves no mark
EntwinedΒ thornsΒ of aΒ rose
Drunk on sanguine laughter
As one we decompose
Abloom in the here-after
