I watch you deeply my love
slipping the blade between your eyelids
a slight resistance...
your breath now coming to me in ragged pants
feeling the life leak from you
like water through a faulty tap valve
ah! so exquisite is our love
sealed with blood stained kisses
set upon rictus mouths
in that death sanctified state of being
still... I watch you so deeply
my love...
my eternal one
stately in frozen embraces
your warmth now so cool to the touch
a cadaver memory
slices of flesh and viscera
a mandala of our union
a deathly pact of dark wantoness
sealed as lovingly
'twixt blood stained kisses
sleep deeply now... my love

Nice! I really liked the lines:
"a cadaver memory
slices of flesh and viscera
a mandala of our union
a deathly pact of dark wantoness"
Sounds a bit necro to me.
Keep up the good work, and good luck in my contest!
