True Love's Last Kiss

by Stephanie Kent

The night has arrived
Enveloping the green moor in velvet black
Stars prancing every which-way through the sky
Mocking a lass' solemn tears

An Irish Rose slowly slips to the floor
Locks of red fire tumble about her delicate shoulders
Heavy head bowed on porcelain hands
In quiet lament

Trembling lips meet with ones frozen and death-shrouded
Longing for the youthful, sunny warmth
That used to greet her, smiling from a warrior's face
Now locked in cold stone...forever

Quite a poetic study of grief! Gothic in style I think. Congratulations on POTD!
