Marigold-embellished heart, blood-colored mulberry Crooning in the shape of crowned blackbird plumage ensconced inside a darkened, visualized shrubbery On fully closed lips, a drop of blood-red fluid murage. Crooning in the shape of crowned blackbird plumage Scarlet dew on lined leaves, lush but oppressive On fully closed lips, a drop of blood-red fluid murage Slave to who I am; the scent of the shackle is seductive. Scarlet dew on lined leaves, lush but oppressive guilty of fatal love, star-stained spirit, cool wrath Slave to who I am, the scent of the shackle is seductive Lilac petals of a lively Eden lay on my sad death. Guilty of fatal love, star-stained spirit, cool wrath As a keepsake of the spots, I decided to trust again Lilac petals of a lively Eden lay on my sad death Heavens, this flower melts in deathless pain. As a keepsake of the spots, I decided to trust again ensconced inside a darkened, visualized shrubbery Heavens, this flower melts in deathless pain Marigold-embellished heart, blood-colored mulberry.
