Aphrodite Rose

a Rose for Him

as if from Venus herself

once lost, so alone

forever apart, now one, an eloping

from life's mysteries

and desires unspoken

entranced with the snakes dance

this mortal coil unbroken

entwined with red wine

sacred souls scorched sweetly

from old poets now divine

devoured by mad love, deeply

and to be buried inside

the tainted tomb of lavish lovers

unlocked, yet lost in the wild

entrenched undercovers

what will we find

when death becomes her

no more she spellbinds

blonde curls, red velvet and her leopard skin fur

this girl in grey dies to hide behind

unchained from bed, enchained for rapture

revived by long lashes and his black leather stature

brown eyed boy, beautiful monster, it's the end of her plight

he could set this girl aright, if only he knew

tightly held under weeping willow 'till twilight

wild at heart, he's whipped for you

an ocean apart, a fortnight of delight

bitten and beaten, merci beaucoup

beauty killed the beast and i love you
