Can I Keep You?

A stroll through the orchard,

unaware

that I'm with you.

Counting every footstep

my habit of pursuit.

Too easy to reach you,

in these trees where

I roam.

Did no one ever teach you

to never walk alone?

All those white flowers,

pinned through your hair

are no rival to your beauty,

more than enough to share!

Can I keep you, darling?

Won't you stay with me?

A love lasting eternally

as my crimson masterpiece.

Lay you down

confess my love.

Incision

 where your soul
sleeps,

to see what you're

made of.

How those muddy eyes twinkle

with amorous tears,

your screams,

like a serenade of whimpers,

a desperate symphony.

 Futile plea
in your eyes

entombed.

Macabre passion,

both of us consumed.

Rest in pieces

behind the glass

our bond will not be severed.

Beholding beauty,
 a work of art,
 the only way love
can last forever.
