A love poem

Hey all,

I wrote this original poem last night (11-3) and edited it today. Thank you, as always, for reading my work. I hope you enjoy it!

I've loved you forever,
But forgot in a day,
 Silent light shaded
By your delicate lids
-It never ceased-
The low, determined thrumming,
Entrained beat against
My carceral heart,
Idyllic beauty entwined
In ivory-vine and august scent,
As if a living censor,
Though in the twilight fever,
While the spirits flutter
In delirium and dying haze
I see you again,
Pale, lithe aghast,
Propped-up
In funeral display,
Perfect and pallid in repose,
Smooth as the lacquered wood
Holding your bones-
Glazed lovingly by
Death’s steady hand.
There, I slumbered,
Resting my head
On your moribund mantel-piece
Rife with dreams of
Resurrected hope,
Twice crucified
On the cross of ambulant life.

Still, I sing our eldritch love,
Still, I water your roof-top lilies,
Bathe them in my tears,
And, await in trepidation,
For that horrid-hopeful day
 When lurking Madness
 Brings me back to you.
