Ebon locks and sapphire orbs
Dance bout her pallid tones
While Aurelian shadows dance across her
By candle light, by baleful moon
Consumed by the call of carnal bliss
Our bodies collide and swerve in serpentine kiss
And I was born of this a chrysalis
In the thought of echoed loneliness
My fluttered heart amiss.

Where do you go when the day breaks, the dawn?
Where can I find you if not in carrion song?
Where are you my darling?
Where do you go when the light chases dark?

In my bones,
I can feel your absence ache
And I cannot stop  as I shake through every page in tomes
To invoke your image from its ossuary vase
A genie to grant my wish for one last kiss

And as the day breaks to dusk,
Your diaphanous fingertips touch me
Cold writthing rime against my wrist
Lead me to the umbral halls
Under silken sheets juxtaposed crimson walls that bleed
Echoes of our evanescent romance
A dance upon the sepulchral rooms
Cobwebbed and guilt consumed.
I burn like a funeral pyre for you,
Lachrymose eyes dry with resolve for vestigial proof

I will find you.


Where do you go when the day breaks, the dawn?
Where can I find you if not in carrion song?
Where are you my darling?
Where do you go when the light chases dark?

Cadaverous, I am ravaged by time
As you have yet to age,
A siren to sing me to the grave
But my heart betrays, and staves
Holding onto life’s cancerous bane
Noctambulant emissions to spurn confession
I will forever mourn in self immolation
Searching the maw for your spectral permission
To bring me home, in the depths of the death of love
