Bliss and euphoria pervaded my delightful and exquisite nights,
As dreams and passions drifted like evanescent rose petals.
Traversing the infinite corridors of the labyrinth of my imagination,
I surrendered to the magnificence of the gardens of crimson roses.
I let the solemn depth of the night touch my heart in silence,
And allowed the shadows of darkness to linger around me.
The fractures within my soul mirrored the twilight, and the stars stared at me,
In a game of love and demise, where I was the main character.
There weren’t any more winter mornings, nor summer evenings,
The only perpetual season was the frosty nighttime.
Indeed, time had been obliterated,
And my heart had sunk deep into the abyss of deception.
Surrounded by ashes and spider webs, I have faded away as many times as there are stars in the sky.
I had become a devotee of my own grotesque fantasies, secluded in my castle of tragedies, gloomy phantasmagorias and sighs of grief.
Feeding myself with enchanted spells, magic elixirs and frosty flowers, I was wandering in my realm of nightmares and shadows.
Wraiths and demons hid behind ancient dusty ruins and brambles, while a blizzard was stroking the several withered flowers and dead trees.
Bliss and euphoria touched my heart like radiant arrows, making me lose every glimmer of wisdom.
I could feel joy and pang all over my body, although anguish didn’t spare my soul.
The cynical sorrow had seized my fate with its menacing grip, leaving my heart languishing under a startling vexation.
Sharp thorns and scarlet roses were climbing over me in my garden of love and oblivion, willing to surrender to such a wicked destiny.
Therefore, it happened that I was crowned the Queen of Darkness, under an arcane oath with the vow of never looking back nor ever regretting my belonging to the realm of doom.
