Twilight Kiss
Steal a twilight kiss upon the garden path of death....
Give to the Oleander, a twilight kiss,
reach for the darkness, its false promise of bliss.
Drink the nectar, that would steal the light.
Listen, your heartbeat, as it fades with your sight.
Then, alone, in darkness, draw your last breath.
