Lilac Cemetery

Weekly Challenge SLOP (Serious Lovers of Poetry)

 Lilac Cemetery 

Let me sleep tonight my beautiful
Topside down
While you recline quiet and still
Underneath the dirt
Velvet blanket in between
Your certain death
And my insipid life.

Velvet alluring lilac salute
To final sleep
How the mossy gloves come off
When we wade too deep
Six feet under the dirt my beautiful
While I warm your marble epitaph with my
lurid thoughts.

Silken and serene their fetid covering
Who knows what dreams beneath
Are breeding?
The sky high blue lies
Come crashing down on me.
Prettier than  lilac fields of memory.

Prettier than you
Dearer than all
Is my beautiful one
Locked up in her obdurate vault.
