Darker Hearts
Death chooses grey roses,
Because living lips are lily pink;
In each clever hand, his dagger arcs
The blood falling like broken links.
A tethered breast, a cottoned night;
The devil dreams of good nymphs sleeping.
The outside draws the inside nigh;
Dark beasts, the brass keys quiet are keeping.
In the flowers center, soft fingers enter,
Summer breathing the cloud-juice dry,
And jaded hearts will keep on beating
Though bloody cracks expand the sky.

the last two lines of this verse is one of the darkest things i've read. i like how the imagery unfolds before my eyes while reading, first grey roses, dagger arcs, then nymphs and a seducer on the background, and elevation through flowers to pulsing sky. even in your most somber writes i find a certain ecstasy that imprints on my heart per sempre.
