Death, my midnight lover

[opeth98]

Death, my midnight lover

I await your shadow kiss

Upon my rosy virgin lips

Whisper your dark breath into me

***

I have bathed in black rose petals

Washed my hair with misery

Jeweled by the diamonds of a thousand tears

Perfumed by the decay of years

***

I await, bride prepared for her beloved

And this, my only lust: a longing for the soothing shade

As Romeo, for the bitter draught
and Juliet, the blade.

This is pretty. Reminds me a bit of the song Bloody Kisses by Type O Negative

Just have to chime in to someone who Likes Type O Negative. As a teen I used to smoke weed and listen to them. it's a angelic experience.

Check out Giacomo Leopardi's Amore e morte, "Love and Death", one of my favorite poems.
