Simultaneous Death

My gloomy black rose of murky nights
Reminisce, our love a crimson red rose
that grew as jazz crescendo
gliding from night in black depth
of our deep dark plaintive soul

This grave we exchang'd blood
Nocturnals watching assemblage
till my dark crimson joy expir'd
Cascades bloody Nile as your
dark love destroy'd me

She met her bed
Rest, rest in misty foggy
rest, rest 'gainst cold pillow
Emotion in despair, dead
digging deep, deep in life-sick me

She met her bed
so is my lust, gone with the wind
of milk-moon loom in 
a chill night serenade with
hooting wolves and howling owls
