Kiss of Death

in the darkest gloom of a melancholy night

an angel fell from the sky

her eyes were like two reflecting lakes of misery

her heart a dying ember

out of the inky blackness came forth an ephemeral

presence

his heart a radiant flame

his soul glowing like a translucent jewel

he sparked her dreams with his captivating touch

soothing her sorrows with enchanting eyes

as the angel was drawn closer to him

she sealed her fate with the kiss of death

the sparkled essence left her alone

whereupon she crashed to the floor

her wings shattered into diamond-like shards

she could no longer fly

for her fantasy had gone away

since she had nothing else

she wept infinte crystal tears

which twinkled in the darkness like hopeless stars in a

dead night.

her agony was to no avail, for the fairytale being did

not return

and she was left to sink into the shadows

never to be seen again...
