Lovers Liaison
A thunderstorm was approaching in the wee hours
The sad phantasmagorical spirit loomed
Beside the emaciated gentleman bed
Was his dead mistress unmistakable contours
The gloomy chamber was the forbidden love nest
For the treacherous and clandestine wencounters
Of the unmentionable vices chained lovers
Until the mistress passed away for final rest
One day when lovers passion was at the highest
The gentleman strangled the lady and buried
The cadaver until one day was unburied
The lady was finally buried for final rest
The nightmares chased the gentlemen during the night
Insomnia was affecting his sleepy hours
Confession of the vile crime ended the rumours
Prisoner of mind and body in the skylight
