Love's Eternal Apparition
The astral planes await you,
on the nether side of fate.
Let me pass into your body,
'neath this worn out estate.
Do not fear these shackles,
they keep me rather near.
Save the night that keeps,
my escape from the frontier.
I have drawn a warm bath,
conjured candles already lit.
The doors are bolted tightly,
that you rightly must submit.
The years are in your favor,
remain ageless in this place.
Let me caress softened flesh,
such warmth upon your face.
Great beauty in your eyes,
a specter shall never know.
I shall cater to your needs,
unless the sun may glow.
None shall near this house,
over hills to Gallespy lane.
The dead think me enamored,
and the living madly insane.
