Honeymoon Draped In Black Silk

By kiss of the dark



Amber flames emerge
From your fingertips
And your touch makes
Me burn with exalted delight

You are my charming
Glass of wine...
Spiked with blood

Gothic architecture
Surrounds us
In this soft bed
Of dead roses
Glowing ascher

We make dark love
As the clock
Marks the hour
Of doom...
And we sing for
The sake of our
Black souls

Stealthy love sonnets
Are breathed into our ears
As we gasp at the portrait
Of our untimely repose

    Like the sweet death in blood memories. I loved the first two stanzas. Your prose is elegant and true. Write the hell on.
