Red lips, slender waist, ebony hair
All that she is, I desire.
By my side, her body like the sunset
Sinking into linen sheets.
A world I cannot penetrate
As tangible as dreams
In the haze of reality, I was drawn
Her form filling me with Carnal lust
Envisioning her body entwined with my own
Yet with the clarity of time
Such instinctive raptor, transformed
Physical longing, now an eternal passion
With strength I do not fully understand,
I draw my gaze from her unreadable face
Her exposed flesh a testament to our act of love
I cannot help but admire her insubstantial frame
Which somehow carries her exceptional essence
My view is filled by the crimson of her lips
Those lips which last rested upon my wrist
Stained by the sanguine liquid which failed
In giving her eternity, to which now I am doomed
Already I am as I was, perfect at least in form
Her perfection unspoiled by death
She has been taken
The blood, the blood which promised infinity
Leaves me incomplete
I am cursed with a future which is absolute
Human life seeks companionship,
But now I know my own life is a solitary one
And so to her, with whom my life I can no longer share
Adieu.
