Beware

Dark Romance and Painting by Josephine Wall

The fragrance of the night
     is alive with dead roses;
     Come to me my free spirit
     whoever you may be,
     But beware...
     When the moon is yellow
     in its darkest hour
     and the shadows sleep;
     you will be in my power;
     You will see seduction
     burning in the lantern
     of my dreams...
     My free spirit in the wind,
     Come.. be my eternal love
     I am the woman you
     have always searched,
     Let the wind whisper good bye
     as our silhouettes descend
     on the cobwebbed wall of eternity.

The seduction of man. Evokes dark undertones and peppered with surreal imagery, makes this a great read.
