Dear Theda, - Argyle Goolsby

Strings of pearl

Rest starkly on a velvet gown of black

Opulent and mystic furs

Span across her back

A fool there was for you

Dear Theda, My love

The Vamplike breath you drew

Still lingers like blood

Upon the blooms

(in the delicate shade of your tomb)

Long stemmed rose

Clenched tightly tween' pearlescent fangs of white

Smoldering and mesmeric eyes

Retreat into the night

A fool there was for you

Dear Theda, My love

The Vamplike breath you drew

Still lingers like blood

Upon the blooms

(in the delicate shade of your tomb)

Veiled like a sullen sphinx

Staring down history

Your star still shines

In an age that’s revoked all of it’s mystery

Your charm still binds

A fool there was- for you

Dear Theda, My Love

The Vamplike breath you drew

Still lingers like blood

Upon the blooms

(in the delicate shade of your tomb)

Dear Theda…
