Is it but a mere coincidence
that both love
and death
are associated
with the moon
and the night?
That roses are apt
for both
weddings and
funerals alike?
That temptations
lead to both these fates
don't you see the similarities too?
If love is but a prelude to death
let it be a haunting melody
that plays as death sweeps me off my feet.
