So loves a kiss of a book
Words corseted into doors
Flutter pages snow-white doves
Black lips of words dripping into your eyes

Sanctuary dancing like a bell
Air pressed softly like lace in one's breath
Forward the pen drifts along the stone walls
Paths a wanderer will take...

Take thee hand...
And crush it with thy lips
For...eternity's vow

Forsook the ashes, dust of ballgowns
Deep in your submerging waves
Swept of pearls, marble sculptures of prose
One kiss for a night's dream

Twirling lambs, on thorns of roses
Squandering no time
Shift and drift, snowflakes linger
On tongues warm from scalding blood

Blood of your dear lover's heart
Torn by lace
And licked by your intricate dagger

A wolf's hear, pierced with the fangs
Eve's apple, bleeding life
Droplets twirl, metamorphosed
In icicles, like glass

Dip a bitten finger
In your bouquet of black roses

This was a VERY random poem I wrote a month ago; I remember sitting in my family's dining room, with The Rasmus's "Ten Black Roses" stuck in my head, and I just wrote down the first thing (usually) that came into my head, and this was the product.

I'm reading this over and going, "Wait, I wrote this????"
