When she stands solemnly and cries
Her red wine tears
Upwards turn those pale blue eyes
Pray to God, take away your fears
Eventually she will lay
Upon what she took
Her reaper’s hook -
Her weeping lily bouquet
As the dark shadows
Encase her
Like black veins across her skin
So does death
Embrace you
It’s a fight you’ll never win
Don’t wish for a better day
Inevitable; it’s here she will stay
In your heart
Until you depart
As her weeping lilies rise
Finally you scream, but no one hears
And she stands solemnly and cries
Her red wine tears

Her weeping lily bouquet

Yikes! Very dark picture, yet beautifully dark poem. I really love the beautiful dark images you used to describe her. The "red wine tears" was awesome. It really was a great description... Unique too..
This is a great poem..
