A blown out candle,
Vapours evanescent,
Moonlight smothered by cloud,
A dark, scarlet sky.
Her chamber, unlighted,
As black as the crypt.
Her heart still darker
Tonight.
The perfect darkness -
In her doorway he stands,
His stature majestic,
His wings sanguine.
Silence and stillness -
She sees him without seeing him,
Her starved lips
Amaranthine.
Her face wet against his chest,
He holds her in his arms;
An eternity in solitude
After eternities torn apart.
Unspoken words,
A sigh of contentment.
A venomous kiss.
A burning stake through her heart.
The perfect darkness.
