I
Twilight on the grave
Dew settles in the night
A paranormal heart I crave
By warm candlelight
Moisture kissed quagmire
Two hearts vapid sound
Yearning eyes afire
True love’s been found
I take you in my arms
Fetid smell across skin
Like faded floral charms
Flesh parched thin
My sweet undead lover
In a coffin on silent breath
Through the tears I discover
I fear not Lamia's death
II
O lover how I wept
Lost in the night
In your arms swept
Warmed by candlelight
I long for an embrace
Ignite my cadaver heart
Caressing your sweet face
Smitten by love’s dart
In stasis we embellish folklore
Within shadows of the dark
Entombed on the moor
Where times leaves no mark
Entwined thorns of a rose
To thrive on sanguine laughter
As one we decompose
Blossoming in the here-after
