Nocturnal encounter impending
Involuntary, shadow rendezvous
Garnet eyes peer from your dreams
Haunting your thoughts and soul
Titian tinted visions in ambience
Maroon shades stir from dark places
And your crimson heart thrashes
Repulsion chills your ruby blood
Eternally, perpetually, unbound
Instinctively, your eyes flutter
Never aware, no longer alone
Remnants of a bloodstained echo
Entangled in shreds of soft red vapour
Draped across your scarlet screams
