Ghost Groom

On a dark,brooding night.
There was a haunted mansion in sight.
They say it used to be lively and fun.
 
Until they got killed and the killer ran.
The dusty windows drive you in.
Making you want to go inside.
 
You make your way over to the old,wooden gates.
And you walk on the wooden,floor plates.
There is a piano,but not an ordinary piano.
 
That seemed to be playing a song.
A lovely,romantic lullaby.
That would soothe anyone that does cry.
 
On the stool appeared a ghost before you.
He is a dead groom.
Corpse,sweeping with  a broom.
 
He wore a fancy suit.
And has bright,blue eyes.
His image,alluring.
 
As you look at the starry skies.
As he gets up,he extends his hand.
And the piano keeps playing his song.
 
Suddenly,you are wearing a fancy gown.
That turned your frown upside down.
You took his hand and swayed.
 
To the lullaby of forbidden romance.
Is what he sang to me.
As he held my cheek with glee.
 
You find yourself allured by his eyes.
His ghostly presence hypnotize.
As you two sway to the piano playing.
 
He sings,love is in the air.
And maybe tension in every breath that we share.
The two of you dance haunting,love tango.
 
Seems like he fell for you.
As you play a game for two.
I love you,is what he said to me.
 
His ghostly presence hypnotize.
Even though he's dead,you realize.
The past,sadness in his loving eyes.
 
Left,abandoned at the altar.
From a time that's very far.
When he was alive,he was known by all.
 
Before his death,the one big fall.
Now he wanders his mansion all alone.
Waiting for someone to make him feel alive,warm.
 
My darling,can't you see that love is in the air?
Is what he said to me.
As I held him close,dancing with glee.
 
And when I looked into his eyes.
They allure and hypnotize.
I said,love you to the bones.
 
It's like we are playing a game and he knows.
Eventually, he became my groom.
As his bride, I felt swoon.
 
Truly a forbidden romance.
As we die together and our love stands.

Author's Note
A love story between a ghost groom and a human bride. A mental image I had in my head for two days now,but I finally wrote it down!
""He died on his wedding day.
All hope had gone away.
Untill he found his human bride.
And she did not feel fright.""
