Torrid Black Nightmares



I loved you like the flowers in Spring 
Love the morning dew
I loved you when loving you 
Was no longer real
Just a pantomime of affection
Played out on an absurd stage
We made love in dreams within the mist
In shadowy sandcastles in the sky
Holding on for an eternity 
That never came
I used to see your face in the moon's glow
Heaven in your gaze
As we embraced lovingly
Now I peer into the crimson wasteland of night
Watching a barren rock in the void
Spinning out of control
Alone and empty waiting for your return
I dance this dance of fools
Your kisses like red wine and black symphony
After an erotic passion feast
Will not die quietly
Though you are gone forever
You remain
Lost in my ghastly forest of Sin
Sweet memories
And torrid fiendish nightmares
Of ecstasy
Ghosts lingering in the night time fog
Haunting me still
Disappearing 
Before my eyes 
As we sway majestic
In each other's arms
One more time
Torn 
In twilight reverie.
