gentleman bones

yes i know this concept is recycled but there's a twist this time ^^

Gentleman Bones, King of Shadows and Night
with creeping feet, across rooftops performed flight
until his eyes were caught by a glint afar
when came close, t'was a window ajar

yet peering inside said irregular window
he found a slumbering figure in the shadow
tiptoeing inside with hushed feet
determined was he, this figure to meet

and there lay this sleeping beauty in bed
her face he saw where the light shone on her head
lightning, great and thundering, struck his chest
so his love captured by this little one in rest

how silent and still was she, so alike the peaceful dead
and her lips, mesmerized him, seductive blood red
so dumbfounded he, so struck by Cupid's arrow
that he stayed till the night turned morrow

and as the sun began to stir, from her lips he stole a kiss
before daylight dashed the dear Shadow King to mist
the mist caught light and birthed rainbow across the space
thus marked the end of Gentleman Bones with fine grace

she who did steal hearts in sleep now awoke
and from those crimson lips, these words she spoke
"for beauty did Death die," then began to cry
sich void and sorrow in her heart and she knew not why
