A tribute

Her look, her form, her file, her grace
Her eyes, her hair, the features of her face
Amidst the crowds I continually pass
The culmination of their features reconstructs the past
Should I take the theme from Shelley’s pen
Cultivating the dead to fashion her twin
The physique would fulfill the memories I foster
But without her soul, my creation, alas, a monster

Ahhh, her skin, so soft, so pure, so white
Silken to the touch, tantalizing to the sight
For months I’ve been hungry, crazy with desire
Starving for affection, my appetite will not tire
Could it be that Stoker suffered a similar plight
An eternal mate for his beast derived in one bite
But can our love surpass the limits of time
Knowing the heart is dead, that of hers and of mine

A single lyrical sound from her lips doth escape
Music to my ears, a breathe I dare not take
A thread of jealousy from green eyes does come
Sharing her with others, this I cannot succumb
Remove her from the world, Leroux did compose
Tunnels deep within my heart, my lair we must go
To be caged and cared for, eternally confined
Her body my possession, but never her mind

Flesh upon flesh, bodies pressed until one
Devouring organs, the flavor on my tongue
Can one be consumed, till existence is wane
The wanton feast of tissue, am I insane
The ink of Poe, slither does the skin make
Images of my lover, ghostly spirits may wake
Perchance another exists, oer’ mountain or shore
But encounter a love like hers, I think, nevermore
