Follow me into the night which envelops us, cloaked in the blackness and hooded in dark
The stars are extinguished, the moon turns her face, no light to guide us, our journey is stark.
The forests that frighten and grasp at thy pale skin, tearing thy garments when hurriedly passed
The calls of the night birds, the shapes of the shadows, firmly hold onto me, move with me fast.
Follow me into the realms of the underworld, come follow, inhabit the world of the night
The stars are extinguished, the moon turns her face, into the abyss, goodbye to the light
No ivory satin, no white rose bouquet, no cream lace adorn thee on thy wedding day
Bride of the dark depths thy ebony tresses are decored in black silk, of midnight thy dresses
Follow me into the chambers of Hades and come to me, join with me, lift back thy veil
No father or brother or suitor shall find thee, the stars are extinguished that none see thy trail
But here thou shalt live for me, thrive for me, die for me
Bride of the dark depths, no choices have thee.

A fine write Joanna, but oohh, I dunno. Bit dark in the underworld. I won't be able to see where I'm going! heehee.
Thanks for your comment. Was in a gothic state of mind 🤗
Oooh deliciously scary this underworld story -- a well-crafted tale with much hidden meaning -- loved the flow too of this read.
Thanks for commenting. Yes lots of hidden meaning. Gothic darkness.
