A gaslighted face of sickly appeal
a frenzied parade of the Absinthe surreal

Fervent vapours, rotting bouquets on a grave
cascades through the narcotic air of decay

Sweat and lust reeking from old bones
euphoric laments through the atelier moans

Dust coloured breath on sleepy eyes
lilac-scented touch on enamoured flies

Mossy green lace keeps a burial shroud
oblivious to all but the roaring crowd

Delicious Delirium with her opiated brawl
Death`s little sister, addictive to all

You made some very good descriptions here. It kind of gave me the creeps but I see beauty at the same time. Short but very strong. I'm sorry about your grandma by the way.

Please read mine too. Rate and give an honest opinion. Rating without comments rather gives me the blues because I can't get any criticisms.
