Grey mist veils my hurt

When the light succumbs

To darkness that touches

Lover’s hands, golden rings.

Dewdrops fall like burning pearls

From eyes that turn to black

Two golden coins and roses

I send with your vessel.

Laughter no longer echoes

And smiles begin to fade

Your smell no longer lingers

As memories decay.

On satin sheets you lie

Floating across the still water

Moonlight draws a path

So death, do us apart.
