Cerberus Sonnet

when mortal coil doth — dearest tomb keeper, shroud the vibrant hue — of the dark and cold. of life's brief candle — grant me one more kiss, and the darkness creeps — my last farewell told. through ebony's cold — revive my red lips, and lonely shadow true — now grown pallid pale, i search for the sweet — and in thine lit eyes, guidance in dead's deeps — final breath i hail lo, the void's abyss — thy lips, a blue rose doth stare at me cold — winter's icy grasp. Death—Life Love Forbidden Laid to Rest
