The Dark Rose of Midnight

A dark mistress, arrives in the night She brings with her, pure delights She caresses dreams, she whispers of love She steals your heart, she swings softly In the shadows of candlelight She wrote a poem, one cloudy night Her words draped around your soul She brought you wine She brought you the vine Life never tasted so sweet Her curves, winding down the road of life Hand in hand, heart to heart I prayed, let us never part Our souls traveled light years away Yet by my side, did she stay And now I kiss lips so sweet Tomorrow I kiss memories, and so I weep She has parted to places unknown As I stare at stone, all alone I kiss the earth, where she lay So sad this cloudless day
