Rose Petals On Rumpled White Sheets


Lipstick stains on a champagne glass
I can still taste you when you are gone
Drunk on ecstasy I cling to the memory of a dream
Bittersweet erotic illusions
Rose petals on rumpled white sheets
Beautiful in their exquisite destruction 
Like our love of perversion, pleasure and pain
Lost in the sea of yesterday's desire
Washed up on the beach by morning light
A dead relic of the past castoff in the sand
Imprisoned in the catacombs of my black twisted heart
I hold you close in a dream
Of forever.
