Lady in black



She dresses in black. the veil of mourning
that drapes her heart.

over the years, under the bridges
the waters of her crystalline tears flow, unhindered;
torrent of moments, somber parade of yesterdays
over the years. under the bridges.

I kissed her once. she trembled; my lips were frost.
cloaked her in my bluest shirt, embracing,
but yet she wept. my charm was infidel.
once.  I kissed her.

stars: unlustered, crackling cinders. moon of onyx
the night, cimmerian; ghosts of tepid pallor
mirage of tantric candles. the symphony, a dirge
low onyx moon. and craquelure stars, bizarre, maroon.

could I love her, be the light of her salvation?
storm the gothic moor, unbolt her oaken door –
withering hero, my folly defeats me:
light is the submissive bride of darkness
and love, a wicked dream.

her heart – sojourner in the vale of mourning.
and she dresses in black…
