Graveyard Coffeehouse

Stolen Rose

---

Songs
Echo
Like
Moans
Rising
From a conflagration
Embers
Dying
With a scream
Memories
Pass
Slowly
Deliberately
With a barely
Audible
Whimper
Love fades away
Nothingness
Takes hold
Empty
Sickening
Feeling
Dragged
Down
With the smoldering
Destruction
You hear
Her name
Still
In poetry
Taste the warm
Arousal
From ghost
Love making
Voluptuous spirits
That rise
In the Night
Haunting
Rhythm
Rhyme
Melody
An icy touch
On your skin
Then quiet
Illusions
Disappeared
The song
Plays on
Monotone
Fading
With the daylight
To the sound
Of disembodied
Voices
Resonating
Like
Heart
Beats
Shining
Like the full moon
Brilliant
Darkness
Engulfs
Obscuring
Words
Deeds
Uncertainty
Beckons
On the horizon
With every tear
Each train wreck
Love
Remember beauty
In the black
As bodies collide
Skin on skin
Lips meet
Tongues entwine
Taste paradise
Soul to soul
In the gray remnants
Shadows
Dancing
From passion's flames
Reflected
Hold her close
Stoke the fire
Of eroticism
Never forget ecstasy
Sensuality
Pleasure
Pain
Drunk
On the madness
Revel
In the sweet
Absurdity
Steal
A rose
From a forbidden garden
Smell
The fragrance
Before love dies
Like petals
Turned brown
Drying
Flaking away
A pretty flower
Dream
Nightmare
They all pass
Into the ether
Breathe deep
Savor each moment
Disinterred
From a premature
Grave
She will
Always be
Your
Stolen
Rose.
