The look on your face when u opened the door
Made my heart glow, bright as gold.
I missed u too my love, oh yes,
And I m back now, thanks to God’s grace.
I walked in as u hastily stepped back,
The distancing years has made u shy,
I bared my teeth and smiled with love,
And you pierced the night with your cry.
I couldn’t wait and eagerly neared,
My arms stretched to hug you;
One fell with a thud,
Blame the rotting joints;
And you ran upstairs,
Your blood ice cold blue!
I followed hence, and broke the door,
My darling why u stay away?
Look, the casket wood wasn’t enough strong,
And keep our at bay.
I went to fix the cobwebbed hair,
And remove the rot and flesh on my drape,
But the girl in the saloon couldn’t hear,
While she made her hasty escape.
But surely love you don’t care all that,
I can see your face paled with surprise.
I promised I would come back whatever happens
For my affections are truer than lies.
Aren’t you happy to see me now?
Has your love died with my soul?
But this body and heart still yearns for you,
The body you loved, to kiss and hold.
Remember those days of sunny noon,
The air drunk with the scent of tulips,
Us as one, and forgotten worlds
Warms embraces and feeding lips?
So why won’t you kiss me today my love?
My burning passion isn’t dead.
Or do the worms wriggling out of my mouth
Make you sick instead?
