The night becomes alive with dead roses,
their essence still in the air
wilted petals still bleed with passion
violins mourn this starry affair.

In the peaceful slumber of the night,
silhouettes quietly appear.
Behind the cobwebs of the fog,
a mist of lavender tears.

Whispers echo in the moonlight,
shadows come alive in the breeze,
dead roses soft as black velvet,
a wingspan of blackbirds in the trees.
The night becomes alive with dead roses,
but wilted petals still bleed with passion.

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
William Shakespeare
