A Somber Sight

She lies serene upon a stone slab in a meadow glistened by misty waves
Her hair, raven black with strands lifelessly flowing among the graves

Sun-kissed skin, growing gray and pale under warm candlelight
An enchantress so alluring by day, and dangerously intoxicating by night

Memories of her laughter, hauntingly echo through nearby trees
A breathtaking enchantress under pale moonlight causes one to freeze

The four candles placed by each corner emit soft, eerie orange hues
Though recently passed, her aura still strongly eases and subdues

A shadow of a man appears, distorted by an unsettled flickering glow
Low growling is heard rumbling throughout the glade as he approaches so slow

A century‘s worth of memories cascade as teardrops dissolve
The urges of yearning erupt into forced acceptance by feelings unresolved

A kiss upon her head though lifeless, still soft and sweet
Even in death, the shadow’s heart for her, still beats
