A Night Forgotten

Wondrous maven
whose lair it is that you haunt?
Is it mine? Is it someplace divine?

Crimson splashes on your face
ashen eyes staring off into space
Is this dream one of yours? Is it all morose?

Purple pink tears streaming down
fine lines bordering on an ocean deep frown
Did you pin this chandelier to the wall?
Did the glass cuts not faze you at all?

Empty bottles on the porch
Buffet reeking of their insatiable gorge
Were you the once dancing till daybreak?
Skinny dipping in the marmalade sea of heartache?

Mind me if I say so, but I don\'t mind much
Violet hair to the floor, beauty ethereal, divine such
May I steal a bit of those charms you do?
I have been watching you from the tower, oh you too?

Rooster shrieks atop a ledge, yellow breaking the night
This is where it all ends huh? Even all the rancour and might!
Was all of it never real?
Then this must be the acrid taste of love that I feel.

Isn\'t it?
