She removed her gloves
Gently the first and then the second
It was to show him her love
She turned to him and beckoned
Her eyes were illuminated
by the stars in the night sky
her soft silhouette
rimmed by the glow of the candle light
With delicate fingers
her corset was unlaced
satin and frilly things
but,of him, there was no trace
behind the parasol of illusion
she hid her face
and all the love she felt for him
she tried to erase
from her veins
ebony and crimson gushed
no remorse, only sadness
then the euphoria came as a rush
the candle was blown out
the stars were no where to be seen
with her corset unlaced, she lay there for him
she uttered her last words
the crimson ceased to flow
she whispered through the night
'Where did you go...?'
