''Close your eyes and sleep well my dear...
Here in my arms you don't have to fear,
Close your eyes and dream us together...
Close your eyes... and sleep now forever...''
...that was last what I've said to her... my last lullaby to my dying beauty...
Time has come untimely for my beloved, cold scythe of Death was fallen on her with the coming nightfall...
I still remember that night... warm autumn breeze caressed her long hair, moon is shining
bright, fallen autumn leaves danced on that breeze and her whispers... an enchanting
sorowfull melody that ruined my heart... Many tears I swallowed that night...
I feared the moment... she will fade away... soon... now my hands tremble as hers...
As I watch her... that angelic body... green eyes of lust and lips now pale, once red as
wine... I recall all those moments we've spent together... how they are gone so fast...and
how they slowly fade and wither like roses in the mist...
As bells chimes midnight from the ruined gothic tower, here, in this doleful shades I faced
her fall... as I kissed her, for she whispered to me, I felt how she's losing her last ounce
of energy to kiss me and embrace me for last time... With trembling voice I whispered to her
that song, that lullaby... that... prelude to tragedy...
...then... she leave... cold tears filled my eyes... cold river of tears flow from my tired
eyes and the sorrow I felt I cannot describe... tears and fear choked me...
''...sleep now forever...''
As she is lying in my arms for a few moments silence is reigning... I am not daring to
speak... only whispering: ''...everything dies...''
Now... as I stand upon her grave, reading her epitaph written with my tears I lit the candle
and tears falls down on roses that I brought to her and they become alive... then I
whispered to myself:
...only one rose still lies dead... rose of my life...
