adorned by waning lunar sight

droplets dance, weaving light

stirring ceaseless eerie charm.

agonizing grief cloaked in ebony clouds

unfurls and strokes with brutal might.

every touch, glance

a haunting melody that stains

echoing a rapture

of passion, wild and clandestine.

in throes of a morbid torment

consuming the madness of a scent

i looked

clinging to the rhythmic grasp.
