Literature Text

On a fair autumn night,
we met in the patch, amidst
the strange orange fruit all pick
but none seem to eat.

Like a temptress, Eve,
I took him home with me,
where we expressed our passion
quite loudly.

After gasps and sighs,
and occasional screams from
pain we enjoyed at the time,
he left at the dawn's first light.

Three nights after our passionate
deed,we met again quite unexpectedly
me cloaked in velvety darkness
and he appearing like a dream.

I stood underneath the phantomed
trees while he, radiantly bathed
in Luna's light, made his
way over to me.

He came closer, not knowing why
pulled forward by my unseen
eyes, only knowing he must
obey his heart that night

Then he saw me and
it was clear why his body
had pulled him there:
to be near his beloved.

Alexander. It was my
whisper carried on the
wind, full of love and
my soul's recognition.

He placed a tender kiss
upon my hand, always
a perfect gentleman,
and led me to the iron gate.

We left the cemetery hand in hand,
saying goodbye to our boney
friends, and wishing them
a peaceful rest.

He walked me home under
the moon's watchful gaze
and recited to me grave
poetic praise.
Flowers lift your precious head to me
I have come to her warm embrace
The gentle touch of surreality
A sweet kiss from beloved faith

The gardens swim with fervent life tonight
I sense the beauty that waits for me there
Dancing with the statues in the pale moonlight
The velveret whisper at play with her hair
The title comes from Cradle of Filth's "A Gothic Romance (Red Roses for the Devil's Whore)" and is partly inspired by it. The quote is from "The Raping Of Faith" by COF.

This poem is intended to be said to the rhythm of a Nightmare Before Christmas song. :giggle: Try it.
As this isn't finished (and it seems like it's not going to be for a while) you may be sitting there going "So what is this actually about?" Well, I'll tell you! This is about two people who intend to have a one-night-stand and find out they're soulmates. The boy, Alexander, leaves in the morning without leaving his name, number, address, etc. and so they have no way to contact each other. Fait brings them together again unexpectedly and they fall in love.
