Roasted wreaths drool
Muggy mist covers the wood
Darkness howls through the skies
Sunlight imprisoned behind clouds
Air thickens with stale breaths
Whaling vulture descends flight
Mourning waves rages to heights
Ocean fills painful depths
Unheard voice cries shrieking
Lightning bolts sparkle the night
Chains dangle down holding
Supple soft hands are tied
Silky skin's smothered with confinement
Tired eyes weigh heavy
Heart forgets to breathe
Beauty lives to leisurely demise
She's the bride dressed in black
Groom of the ghost descends from above
For the darkened blissful union
And you are invited…
Under the shadows of starless night
Time forgotten as the witness
Bride and groom shall unite
As blood through her seeps out
Mind blown to numb
Heart thrown out in the ocean
Bringing the bride to perfection
For the king of the darkness
…perfect groom
Bride and groom await your blessings
Under the cross tainted
You are invited to the soulless union
