she wore a cloak made of night

Her perfume was of dying roses,
That of an enthralling corpse.
Her dead eyes whispered to me as
She kissed me comatose,
her breath was saturated with ether.
I fell into her arms 
possessed 
By saccharine singing
Bewitching
Yet lovely all the same.
In all her mortiferous glory
She swept me up in silky arms
And faded into the inky night.
