Gothic Romance
In a state of high excitement
she prepared for the Gothic party
Dressed in jet black from head to toe
with nails and lips shining black
Arriving at the Gothic mansion
a shiver ran down her spine
evil gargoyles grinned at her
seeming ready to take flight
On entering the lights were black candles
casting gruesome shadows in every corner
standing near the edge of the dance floor
she felt intense eyes staring at her
He was dressed in dashing Byronic style
as he gave her a stately and elegant bow
catching up her hand he swirled her round
holding her so close his eyes devouring
They danced the night away together
both were smitten by the flame of love
as dawn struck the mansion bathing it
her lover vanished in a puff of smoke
Realizing her lover to be lost
until the dark of night returns
she decides to be one with him
to walk only in the dark of night
Gladly when he returns she accepts
his kiss knowing that she leaves
light far behind as she enters
into his world of perpetual darkness
