In the sheer delicacy
Of the radiance glistening from the autumn's
Vermillion Moon
Romeo and Juliet's
Yűgen fantasies were laced in their velour reverie

The hex of their Jessamine hearts
became their paracosm
Their minds were filled with hieroglyphics
written in Latin.

They were painted without their irises
because they showed the symphonies
of their Dystopia.

Star crossed lovers who went star shopping
to find their long lost Constellations
peering through the mint Moon Dust
Only to find am obscene crater in their Galaxy

Sweet lemongrass grew from their Apricus
wishbones
Only to be devoured by the snake
Who's venom they drank so willingly.
